Please take advantage of this second chance to do what is truly in the best interest of children -- place them in loving homes.  Gay or straight, loving parents make a difference in the lives of children.  I'm stunned and scare to think that this Board would deny a child the opporutnity to be raised in a healthly, supportive environment based on bigotry, bad science or fear.  History will judge harshly any decision that allows for baseless discrimination and doesn't put the children first.  Don't be on the wrong side of history.
