Rest of the article here. Searched and didn't find a thread.

The Nebraska Supreme Court upheld a decision to strike down a ban on same-sex couples becoming foster parents.

The court compared the ban on its decision to "a sign reading 'Whites Only' on the hiring-office door."

Since 1995, same-sex couples had been barred from becoming licensed foster-care providers in Nebraska.

"This is a victory for children and LGBT Nebraskans. There are tens of thousands of LGBT people who call the Cornhusker State home and thousands of Nebraska children in need of a foster care placement," said ACLU of Nebraska Executive Director Danielle Conrad in a statement.

The Nebraska rule comes as lawmakers began discussions on a bill that could ban workplace discrimination based on an employee's gender identity or sexual orientation.

Won't someone think of the children?

 

[Banana Aeon]

Wow, finally a victory for the LGBT community. In Nebraska of all places too.

 

[Einchy]

Hey, some good news for once.

 

[_Ryo_]

Finally good news.

 

[Beartruck]

Now the indoctrination of the gay agenda can begin. Next thing you know, they'll stop judging people for things they have no control over that are intrinsic to their being. Thanks a lot Nebraska! /s

 

[Monocle]

Are we sure it's safe???

I mean for the skirt-clutching busybodies who make a hobby of performative concern for kids going to loving households.

It's actually kind of comforting to see things like this and the anti-discrimination ordinance passing the lower courts in traditionally red states. You can't block progress forever.

Nebraska is now ahead of Michigan.

Great job, Nebraska Supreme Court.

Apparently the courts did.

[Frozenprince]

Thank god. The foster system is enough of a mess as is without preventing possible good parents from adopting because they're queer

 

[Haly]

Those were better days.

 

[Einchy]

Oh how I have missed this.

I just now realized that I haven't seen that gif in months.

Been a while since the last time a positive news along with dancing penny was posted.

The rise of right wing fascism has really killed the gay rights movement :-\

I just realized how much has stalled out since the US legalized gay marriage.
