Florida Republicans say gay-rights advocates 'hijacked' state adoption bill
Source: The Guardian
The Florida senate sent Governor Rick Scott a bill Tuesday repealing the state’s 1977 ban on adoptions by gay parents that was struck down by an appeals court in 2010.
The ban, which was imposed at the height of a campaign by singer Anita Bryant that revoked a gay-rights ordinance in Miami, has been unenforceable since the court ruled against it. However, the language remained in the statute and some legislators objected to removing it.
The Republican-controlled legislature included the repeal language in a large package providing financial incentives for state employees adopting children.
Senate judiciary committee chairman Tom Lee, also a Republican, said the adoption bill was “hijacked” by gay-rights supporters. He added repealing the ban should have been handled in separate legislation.
