Things like this make my head spin

There are 3,400 children awaiting adoption in Florida. It is illegal there for gay people to adopt children, but 400 of these children are in foster homes in which the parents are gay. What a syllogism we have. If gay people are unfit parents, then why are they allowed to provide foster care for children? The implication is that the good Floridians don't give a damn about children at all.

On the other hand, if Floridians believe that gays fostering children is a good thing, then why are these parents not allowed to adopt?

This matter is currently being considered by a court.
