This Mother's Day? I'm going to let the kids celebrate their two dads and the "mommyness" each of us has within. And they can wear whatever the hell they want to wear and do any dance they feel like doing, because that's the kind of mom I had as a kid -- and the kind of "mom" I'd like to be!

Virginia's proposed law goes well beyond protection of religious freedom by affirming the right to discriminate in adoption and foster placement by any agency (religiously based or otherwise) based on any moral objection to certain types of parents.
