Florida Adoption Ban Ruled Unconstitutional

Miami-Dade Circuit Judge Cindy Lederman today declared Florida’s 30-year-old ban on adoption by gay men and lesbians unconstitutional, saying, “It is clear that sexual orientation is not a predictor of a person’s ability to parent.”

‘Bout time they realized that.

State lawyers have already said they will challenge the decision. At the moment, however, it clears the way for Frank Gill, a gay man from North Miami, to adopt two foster children he has raised since 2004.
