November is off and running in case you've been too busy to notice. As I get to boards each day to producce this forum, I'm not suprised at the overnight changes in our world, even though I have to admit usually a news channel here or there rocks me to sleep nightly. Also, it takes constant researching, updating, reading and verifying content too bring you the latest interesting information across the board ranging from local color to global flashpoints. Many thanks to you that continue to count on us as a source for your connection in the GLBTQ community and beyond. I appreciate it and hope that you will spread the good news that CorneliusOnpoint is a must online destination.
Family Council Watch: Arkansas’ attorney general, Dustin McDaniel, has approved a second proposed ballot initiative banning gays, lesbians, and other unmarried couples from adopting or becoming foster parents. Previously in this forum we posted that the council was tinkering with it's language and had already started "dialing for dollars" to help with their campaign. The first initiative was rejected by the attorney general and the governor, but has been revised to include language declaring married couples in the best interest of children. The conservative Christian group proposing the initiative must now collect 62,000 signatures by July for the measure to end up on the November 2008 ballot. Meanwhile, I haven't heard a peep about that un-named organization that is preparing a counter campaign to this initiative. If you recall, this group has had a rocky formation tinted with attitude adjustments and seems to be operating in stealth mode. Stay tuned....
