Florida Bar Against Gay Adoption Ban
Tuesday/February10/09
Section 63.042(3) of the Florida statutes reads,
"No person eligible to
adopt under this statute may adopt if that person is a
homosexual." In other words, if you are gay and live in
Florida, you can't adopt a child
Back in November 2008, Miami-Dade Circuit Judge Cindy Lederman ruled that this ban was unconstitutional. The case is under appeal to Florida's Third District Court of Appeal.
The Florida Bar has now decided to intervene. The Bar's Board of Governors voted unanimously to file an amicus curiae brief - a "friend of the court" brief - arguing that the statute is unconstitutional.
