        it’s so incredibly upsetting to me that people truly believe that the foster care system is a better option for these children than ready, willing, and capable gay couples

        Drive outside of metro Atlanta and it’s an entirely different era. My uncle passed away in a small town outside of Macon in 2009. He is buried in a segregated cemetery. 2009.

        As an Atlantan, I know we have the numbers to overwhelm the teeming bigoted masses in our state. Going all in on @staceyabrams for Governor.

        That’s true along with it being prevalent in Atlanta as well. Georgia is going to be one of the hardest states to get on the right path, the hate runs deep & is funded well.

        We have plenty of houses and apartment buildings in @Canada! Ask your family, friends and colleagues whether they like poutine (fries, gravy and cheese curds), because we'd love to properly welcome them to their new home! ❤
