From AP:
“Miami Judge Rules Against Gay Adoption Ban
A judge on Tuesday ruled that a strict Florida law that blocks gay people from adopting children is unconstitutional, declaring there was no legal or scientific reason for sexual orientation alone to prohibit anyone from adopting.”
This is amazing. Well, it really shouldn’t be amazing, it should be common sense, but then, Florida’s not exactly a hotbed of gay and lesbian inclusiveness. The case will probably be appealed to the state’s Supreme Court, so keep your fingers crossed this ruling will be upheld.
The rest of the article is here, although I have to admit it’s kind of an annoying read because it includes numerous quotes from people for the ban, who spout nonsense like that this is a case of “classic judicial activism.” God, I hate George W. Bush just for coining that stupid phrase. I love how judges’ jobs are to make rulings, but somehow if it’s not a conservative ruling it’s goddam “judicial activism.”
