That word is \u201cYET.\u201d Considering the games the Progressives have been playing with the language, with the able assistance of the Black Robed Tyrants on the bench, I suspect this law may become quite popular.<\/p>\n<p style=\"padding-left: 30px;\"><b>Haslam declared when he signed the bill on Friday that the landmark U.S. Supreme Court decision that legalized gay marriage is the law of the land, and this legislation does nothing to change that. <\/b><\/p>\n<p>I would argue that statement governor.

The Gay Blade lobby can go to the state legislature and ask that a bill be filed making things gender neutral. Oh wait! How silly of me. The LGBT community doesn\u2019t believe in the democratic process and prefers to use their pet judges to bludgeon people into submission. Why? Because they might actually lose if they went the route that regular people, meaning not progressive, do.<\/p>\n<p style=\"padding-left: 30px;\"><b>Nearly every elected Republican voted in favor, and nearly every Democrat against the measure.

The Knox County judge ruled that because she did not meet the legal definition of \u201chusband,\u201d the non-biological mother had no parental rights to their child born through artificial insemination. <\/b><\/p>\n<p>So, this group tried to get a judge to listen to them and they were told to get lost. Instead of doing the Progressive thing, rioting, looting and making a nuisance of themselves, they decided to ask for legislation. No wonder the Progressives are pissed. They were circumvented and outflanked.<\/p>\n<p>You will notice that I didn\u2019t say which side they came down on. I will say that one way this could have been fixed was to have the non-genetic parent adopt the child.

No worries, I\u2019m sure some pinhead of a judge will overturn it. Of course, the LGBT people could try something different. Going to the legislature and seeking laws to correct the problem faced by the two individuals who broke up in the first place. But then, that would make sense.
