WATCH: Gov. Jan Brewer Denounces the Birther Drama

Gov. Jan Brewer would prefer for you to be Straight if you want to Adopt Children

Lord, just when I give this heifer a compliment, she turns around and kicks dirt on my Prada loafers. Jan has approved a bill that gives married couples preference over others for adopting kids.

Senate Bill 1188, which was sponsored by Sen. Linda Gray, R-Glendale, would require an adoption agency to give primary consideration to adoptive placement with a married man and woman, with all other criteria being equal.

The bill applies to both state and private adoption agencies. Previously, only Utah has a law requiring priority for married couples, though several other states have bans on adoptions by same-sex couples or by unmarried couples.

Conservative groups and other supporters of the measure said children should have every opportunity to grow up in a household with a mom and dad. But critics said the bill will discourage singles from considering adoption in Arizona. About one-third of the foster children in Arizona are adopted by an unmarried person.

So technically, it's not saying gays can't adopt, but it sure is hard as Hell for a gay couple to do so. Way to go, Jan.

Gov. Jan Brewer Vetoes Birther Bill and Guns on Campus

Well, I guess Jan has some sense. She decided to veto the stupid guns on campus bill and the ultra stupid Birther bill.  Here's more on the topic, including what the 2 bills would have allowed:

Guns on Campus Bill: SB 1467
- Would've allowed guns to be carried on public rights of way at public university and community college campuses
- Applies only to rights of way -- not inside classrooms
- University presidents opposed the bill
"This bill was very sloppily written and drafted, and I believe when it affects not only our education system, all the way from K-12 through the university, and we can't even find out a definition of what is a right of way... how are we going to enforce a law like that?" Governor Brewer told us.

'Birther' Bill: HB 2177
- Would've required President Barack Obama and other presidential candidates to prove they are U.S. citizens before their names can appear on the state's ballot
- Arizona would've become the first state to require such proof
- 13 other states have considered similar proposals this year. The proposals were defeated in Arkansas, Connecticut, Maine and Montana

As for her decision to veto this bill, Gov. Brewer said in part: "I never imagined being presented with a bill that could require candidates for President of the greatest and most powerful nation on earth to submit their 'early baptismal or circumcision certificates'… this is a bridge too far. This measure creates significant new problems while failing to do anything constructive for Arizona."

 I can't believe I'm saying this, but good job Jan.
