Today Liberty Counsel is filing an amicus brief at the Third District Court of Appeal in support of a 1977 Florida law that bans practicing homosexuals from adopting children. Last year a Miami-Dade Circuit Judge wrote that the law violates equal protection rights for homosexuals and that there is no valid reason to consider homosexuality when approving adoption.

Liberty Counsel successfully defended the same law at a United States Court of Appeals. The law has also been upheld as constitutional by other Florida state courts of appeal.

Florida law is backed up by sound reasons to prefer that children be permanently adopted by homes that will provide the opportunity for a mom and a dad. Homosexual adoption, by its very nature, deprives children of ever having the opportunity of being reared by both a mother and a father.

Most states ban homosexual adoption through legislation, regulation, or court precedent. These states ban adoption by homosexuals because the best interest of children is served by placing them in homes with a mom and a dad or where there is a likelihood of a mom and a dad. A homosexual home automatically excludes one gender, either the mom or the dad. Only a handful of states actually permit homosexual adoption.
