This enterprising reporter secures transcripts of a case in which gay foster parents want to adopt children but cannot, in that Florida law bans gays from adoption (although allows it for felons and drug abusers). While the topic is gay adoption rights, the theme is social science--which stands this report above others in that its in-depth look at the topic also does so from that perspective. The story hinges on testimony by two professors for the state: George A. Rekers, a retired professor from the University of South Carolina, who taught neuropsychiatry and behavioral science, and Walter R. Schumm, an assistant professor of family studies at Kansas State University. Other academics respond to their belief that children of gays are "at greater risk of developing a host of impairments that can harm children, such as mental illness, alcohol or drug abuse, and the virus that causes AIDS." Fred S. Berlin, an associate professor at the Johns Hopkins School of Medicine, criticized Rekers' work, noting Rekers also has a theology degree. As NewsTrust viewers will see, this report captures key debates of our times associated with gay rights and accountable science.
