The Florida Adoption Ban has been overturned! They ACLU of Florida represented the father, Martin Gill, in the four-day trial in Miami that overturned Florida’s 30-year-old discriminatory ban on adoption by gays and lesbians. Florida has the broadest anti-gay parenting law in the nation, banning all lesbians and gay men from adopting. This law flies in the face of the recommendations of all the children’s health and welfare organizations who recognized that gay people make equally good parents because it reduces the limited pool of potential parents willing to provide permanent homes to children in need. All potential adoptive families are already thoroughly screened before being allowed to adopt. This is a great day for justice and equality in Florida!
