By Brody Levesque (Washington DC) Oct 27 | I suppose that it can be said that there is entirely too much focus by my profession on negative coverage of the ever unfolding Human drama round the planet. In fact, I'd agree with that supposition. When one considers coverage of the greater LGBT community, that media scrutiny tends to highlight the awful, the rubbish, the outrageousness, and often the purely queer. [Pun intended]
Which is why I'd like to take a breather from the discussions we all have been having here on this forum, entrenched in our various opinions and positions on those topics, and offer this really cool piece from The Guardian-Observer's Rebecca Seal:

More and more children are being adopted by same-sex couples. In the past two years the number of gay men approved to adopt has doubled. Here we listen to some of their stories.

What's your opinion of Ukrainian authorities not allowing Elton John to adopt an HIV+ lad there, because of his (John's) age?

I'll second Tim's opinion as a completely fair analysis in this regard.
