The Texas state legislature has passed a bill banning gays and bisexuals from being foster parents. Will they ban gays from adopting children next?

I was watching Ron Reagan on MSNBC interview a woman who was saying that the FCC indecency rules that apply to broadcast television channels should be extended to include cable television channels. If you like South Park, The Shield, nip/tuck, et al, this is bad news for you.

The important point to consider here is that people pay for cable tv. It is subscribed to, like a magazine. If you have cable in your house as well as, say, children, obviously your job as a parent is to make sure they only see the appropriate content (so hide your Hustler under the bed and turn on the V-Chip, you sicko).

I don't get how Republicans can claim to be all about individual freedom and personal responsibility, then ban gays from being free to pursue happiness and making it impossible for consenting adults to enjoy mature content that they pay for.
