Globe (May 24, 2010) is filled with appalling stories this week. First up, how about the 49-year-old mother who buys Botox on the Internet and shoots up her 15-year-old daughter's face herself? (Her six-year-old has already begun bugging her about a boob job.) 

And yet gays can't adopt in many states.

Then there is the one about the couple who met in a hotel bar and married 17 hours later.

And yet gays can't marry in most states.

Finally, I was so sad to read that the late Dana Plato's look-alike 25-year-old son had committed suicide. No gay angle, just a shame. Some families are just cursed.
