Yet another reason not to move to Texas

Via Facing South:

The Texas State House "tentatively approved legislation that would prohibit homosexuals and bisexuals from becoming foster parents." The measure, which passed by a vote of 81-58, was added on to a fuller bill intended to "revamp the state's Child Protective Services agency." The amendment was introduced by conservative Rep. Robert Talton, who claimed, "It is our responsibility to make sure that we protect our most vulnerable children and I don't think we are doing that if we allow a foster parent that is homosexual or bisexual."

Right on, Texas. Seriously, way to go. Screwing over foster kids is awesome. You can be damn well sure they're not pumping any extra money into the state foster-care system, so it's not like this has anything to do with actual childcare. What a bunch of fuckwads.
