Arkansas Bill to Ban Gay Adoptions Dies in House Judiciary Committee: Your "YouTube" Ringside Seat

Arkansas Senate bill 959 proposed an outright ban on gays, lesbians, and cohabiting couples from serving as foster or adoptive parents. After passing through a Senate Public Health Committee, the Arkansas Senate also passed the bill.

Senate Bill 959, sponsored by State Sen. Shawn Womack (R) of Mountain Home, was assigned to the Arkansas House of Representatives' Judiciary Committee. On Tuesday, with increasingly dramatic and compelling testimony, Senate Bill 959 died in Committee. Twice.

No matter what side of the debate you're on, I think you'll learn from and enjoy the YouTube video below that I shot of the Committee testimony Tuesday. Due to YouTube's 10 minute lime limitation per video, the Committee meeting video is broken into 9 parts.

As it's now after 5am on Wednesday, let me give you a link to my myspace blog where the YouTube videos await you: http://blog.myspace.com/rimshot72205.
