Czech court strikes down ban on gay people adopting children

A Czech court has struck down the country’s ban on gay people adopting children – though only for individuals.
The country had maintained a law that outlawed gays and lesbians who are in registered partnerships from adopting children, either together or as an individual.
However, the Czech Constitutional Court has overturned a law which banned individual gays and lesbians living in a registered partnership from adopting children.
In a ruling yesterday, the court found that it was discrimination to ban individuals in registered partnerships from adopting, as that right was afforded to single people regardless.

It's a big step forward. One member of the registered couple can adopt, so it's almost there/the same thing.

More progress as the Czech Republic looks westward towards Europe and away from their authoritarian past under the Soviets.

My fathers people have been moving forward. Czechs are good people, and when they put their mind to it they can work with the will of the entire country. Just look at the strikes and protests against the soviets where the entire country participated.
