I’m still 1-2 years away from actually being able to leave my country of birth, but this is why I cannot wait to get out of America:

A Cambridge University developmental psychologist testified at a federal trial in San Francisco today that broad research has documented that children of same-sex parents are just as likely as those of heterosexual parents to be well-adjusted.

“Studies have found children do not require both a male and female parent,” testified Michael Lamb, who heads Cambridge’s Department of Social and Developmental Psychology…

Under questioning by a lawyer for the Proposition 8 campaign, Lamb admitted he was a member of the ACLU, the National Organization of Women, the NAACP, Amnesty International and the Nature Conservancy.

“And you have even given money to PBS, isn’t that correct?” asked David H. Thompson, who is defending Proposition 8. Thompson suggested Lamb was “a committed liberal.”

Right. Liking black people, freedom of speech, and a public broadcasting system = being a RAGING liberal. Just like how supporting universal healthcare = being a socialist.

There’s no way the above quote was chosen by accident. Thank you, Maura Dolan (the Los Angeles Times writer who wrote this story) for covering this with a sense of humor.
