More Stories of Great Heterosexual Parents

By now, you all have heard great detail and hoopla surounding the findings that gay-ness is not taught, learned, nor caught, but is a part of a person's hard wiring.

Of course, there is a large contingent that still believes homosexuals have no place in this world, nor that they should have the same rights and privledges as those who fornicate exclusively with people of the opposite sex. Also, there are a great number of people who still think marriage needs some kind of protection - as to what that protection looks like, I am still mystified.

Incidentially, I am still awaiting a great explanation as to why homosexuality is wrong that doesn't cite some biblical justification or sling vitriol.

Well, along down the media pipeline comes another story of a father (heterosexual man) arrested for killing his child and her friend. (Ironically, in a place called Zion).

ZION, Ill. - A man was arrested on murder charges Tuesday in the Mother's Day stabbings of his 8-year-old daughter and the little girl's best friend, who were killed after they went biking in a park.

Jerry Hobbs, who was recently released from prison, had led police to the bodies just off a wooded bike path early Monday, claiming he spotted them while searching for his daughter, the girl's grandfather, Arthur Hollabaugh, told The Associated Press.

Hobbs, 34, was questioned through the day about the deaths of Laura Hobbs, 8, and Krystal Tobias, 9.

Both girls had been beaten and stabbed repeatedly in the woods and left to die, Lake County Coroner Richard Keller said. He said the girls were found side-by-side and did not appear to have been sexually assaulted.

Lake County State's Attorney Michael Waller said in announcing the charges Tuesday that he could not discuss possible motives for the killings, but prosecutors said more details would come out when Hobbs appears in bond court Wednesday morning.

End slice:

Now, of course, this person is innocent until proven otherwise, but why do people insist such a father deserves more rights than a gay parent?
