Jon Rowe has a couple of excellent posts up, one on gay adoption and one on John Adams (there's no connection between them, but I didn't want to bother writing two different posts to link to them). The first one looks at the question of gay adoption and pretty much shreds the argument that James Dobson and his fellow travelers make against allowing gays to adopt children. The second looks at the question of whether John Adams was a Christian and, if so, in what sense.

Jason Kuznicki has a thought-provoking new article up as well.
Jason's post on the soft midsection of the gay rights movement is indeed really well done. I saw it not long after posting the links to Jon's stuff. Definitely everyone should read Jason's post as well.
