Personally, I'm not fearful or anxious about any of it although I definitely prefer that adoptible children be placed with married heterosexual couples. I was actually responding to Allen's comment about there being no logical basis for denying equal marital status to gay couples and pointed out the precedent established in MA regarding adoptions that followed the legalization of gay marriage. And the fear that existed then in the clergy that other litigation would follow. Most states have circumvented future litigation, for now anyway, with their own ballot initiatives. Either by denying gay marriage and allowing civil unions and/or by making it illegal for adoptions to be placed with single people or unmarried couples. Arkansas did the latter last November. It really is black-letter law unless you can show otherwise. I don't know that there's actual law one way or the other. I assume there's no precedent of individuals forcing themselves onto churches, lol. I think it's always been churches trying to rope in more members, get people to have religious marriage ceremonies, and so on.
