Finally, a little rationality in Florida.
National Gay and Lesbian Task Force applauds Florida court ruling granting adoption rights to gay father
WASHINGTON, Nov. 25 - The National Gay and Lesbian Task Force applauds today's ruling by a Florida judge that allows a gay father to adopt two foster children he has cared for since December 2004. Florida law prohibits gay and lesbian people from adopting children, but Miami-Dade Circuit Judge Cindy Lederman ruled the law violates the equal protection rights of the father and the children's right to permanency provided under federal and state law. Lederman declared there was no legal or scientific reason for sexual orientation alone to prohibit anyone from adopting.
