Steven Lofton and his partner Roger Croteau are raising children, including three Florida foster children whom are HIV positive, yet as they had raised one of the children for ten years, the state of Florida decided to take him away from them.

ed that says gay and lesbian couple are not allowed to adopt kids, as said in article done by someone reporting about the Law suit being brought against the state of Florida by Steven Lofton and Roger Croteau. For situations similar to this one, homosexuals today have been the material of jokes for comedians. This material used by comedians, is used to ridicule a man or woman for what he or she believes in, this is discrimination. Now a day, churches do not believe in gay marriages and sometimes most pastors do not even help or hear gay people, they say they are sinning against god, this is also discrimination. Politicians today do not believe that the gay and lesbian equality issue should be touched upon, they say “is it not jus the right time yet.” Not doing anything about a subject, which is in need of looking after, is also discrimination and negligence. Crimes against gay and lesbians are everywhere, so why should a gay man or woman have to hide from everyone who is not open minded about the issue, why should they suffer from the ignorance of others. “The blood of those people who have died of gay and lesbian hate crimes, are not just in the hand of the killers and the gay and lesbian people, but also on the people who did not do anything about and also on the people who didn’t care,” as the G21 staff Writer, Phil Martin said on his article “blood on our hands” which reflect the actions of everyone and the remembrance
