NEW YORK - Allowing gay couples to adopt is nothing short of state-sanctioned child abuse, according to radio host Janet Parshall.
During a discussion about the implications of the film "Brokeback Mountain" on CNN's "Larry King Live," Parshall referred to the adoption of children by same-sex couples as "state-sanctioned child abuse," and implied that the "lifestyle" of Matthew Shepard was partly to blame for his 1998 murder.
Opining on gay marriage, Parshall argued that marriage is defined as a union between one man and one woman, and that "everything else is a fraudulent misrepresentation."
She then asserted that allowing a gay couple to adopt constituted "state-sanctioned child abuse because you've purposely taken away either a momma or a daddy, and mom and dad are both necessary in a child's life."
Speaking about Shepard's death -- the result of severe injuries sustained during a violent beating at the hands of two men who, purportedly claiming to be gay, lured him from a campus bar at the University of Wyoming -- Parshall first asserted that she was not offering "a justification of what happened, because it was wrong, wrong, and wrong." She did suggest, however, that "there's a lot of questions about his background," and asked, "as he looking for trouble in all the wrong places?"
Parshall also told King that she was not at all surprised at the "buzz" surrounding "Brokeback Mountain" because "what we're witnessing, Larry, is the homosexualizing of America."
According to an article in American Outlook, the quarterly magazine of the conservative Hudson Institute, the "Janet Parshall's America" radio show reaches 3.5 million listeners five days a week. The show is syndicated by Salem Radio Network.
The Jan. 17 edition of CNN's "Larry King Live" featured a discussion that included Parshall, actor Chad Allen, Southern Baptist Theological Seminary president R. Albert Mohler Jr., and former Mayor of Casper, Wyo., (Shepard's hometown) Guy Padgett III.

This stuff just makes my stomach turn.
I was actually thinking about this kind of ignorance on Sunday morning. Caly and I visited a new church that has a noticeable gay/lesbian population. We sat behind a family of two dads and four children. In the hour that we sat near them, I saw the abundant love between these men and their children. I kept thinking how lucky these children are. Who knows, a couple of them could have been pulled from abusive situations and now live in a happy home. People like Parshall are monsters to think that these children would be better off in a toxic heterosexual home.
Thanks for sharing.
