Prop 8's More Dangerous Brother

Gay author and sex advice columnist Dan Savage extends the horror of banning gay marriage to its very logical extreme, as a recent law passed in Arkansas proposes:

Most ominous, once “pro-family” groups start arguing that gay couples are unfit to raise children we might adopt, how long before they argue that we’re unfit to raise those we’ve already adopted? If lesbian couples are unfit to care for foster children, are they fit to care for their own biological children?

If a state can potentially nullify marriages that were legal before the passage of Proposition 8, and to ban non-married, cohabitating couples of any sexual orientation from adopting children or being foster parents, what's to stop a state from declaring adoptions or foster arrangements as no longer legal and taking happy children away from loving parents and/or guardians?

Sullivan and others see a newer, stronger civil rights-oriented, community outreach-centered, movement on the horizon.
