Disney Channel's president loves the gay Miley Cyrus video spoof ...
Seriously. In a surprising move, Disney, who owns Miley's music (as well as her soul), has allowed the video to become a hit on YouTube , and Disney employees have reportedly been e-mailing it to each other all week. It even got the seal of approval from Rich Ross, the president of Disney Channels Worldwide. Mr. Ross recently placed a phone call to the maker of the video, Add your comments

An adoption case that is now before an appellate court case presents a significant challenge to Florida's law against gays. BY CAROL MARBIN MILLER, cmarbin@MiamiHerald.comAs lawyers for a North Miami man seeking to adopt his two foster kids squared off with the state in an appellate courtroom last week, an irony pervaded the hearing: Martin Gill is a terrific foster dad to the boys and should be allowed to keep them, the state admitted. He just can't adopt them because he's gay.
Gill, who was asked to foster the two brothers in 2004 after their mother's cocaine abuse led to persistent neglect, has presented perhaps the most serious challenge to date to Florida's 32-year-old law banning adoption by gay people. The case now is before the Third District Court of Appeal in Miami, which heard arguments in the case last week.
One member of the three-judge panel suggested the state Department of Children & Families might have been defending a state law the agency didn't really like.
``Aren't there two messages you are sending?'' Judge Vance E. Salter asked a lawyer representing DCF at the oral arguments. ``Child welfare officials, all up the chain, all seem to be saying it is in the best interests of the children to be adopted.''
