A Florida law that has banned adoptions by gay men and lesbians for over three decades is unconstitutional, a judge here ruled on Tuesday.
The best interests of children are not preserved by prohibiting homosexual adoption, the judge, Cindy S. Lederman of Miami-Dade Circuit Court, said in a 53-page decision. She said the law violated equal protection rights for children and their prospective parents.

Of course, the sovereignty of a state to decide its own laws is ignored by the disgusting press coverage.
If this law is to be changed, then it should be done via the people.
The LameStream Press virtually ignored the fact that 60+% of the electorate chose to BAN gay marriage in the state three weeks ago.
Florida ping.
Is there any question about how SCOFLA will rule on this?
Oh, wonderful!
So Thad & Chad can adopt a little boy and screw it up, just like their parents did to them!
The gay advocates of the Lawrence v. Texas decision said it was about consenting adults in private. When does a child consent to be raised in a same sex household by non-birth parents under an alternative lifestyle?
A law is insufficient. An amendment to the State Constitution is necessary. A state law can be ruled to be Unconstitutional under that State's State Constitution, but an amendment can't be so ruled. Hawaii learned this in 1993 and passed an amendment in 1996. California learned this and passed an amendment, both in 2008. Now it's Florida's turn.

Daddy, why is there a brown stain on the FRONT of your undershorts?
Exactly my thought...
Well, fortunately the state is appealing this ruling. What is disgusting to me, aside from the ruling, is the fawning LSM coverage down here....it is all on the side of the gays who are being granted parental rights...NOTHING NOTHING NOTHING about the legal issues.
Shows me just how damn UNeducated the idiots in the press are. As well as the judiciary.
Using authority of similar kind I hereby rule that Cindy S. Lederman is UNCONSTITUTIONAL. Her property is forfeit and her liberties rescinded.
I never ever watch our media at all in our state.
Now I am B/S to hear about this. We got o all the hard work to stop them being married and they just go shopping for a judge to adopt children.
So this homosexual judge can just basically get rid of a 30 plus year law and make another just because she doesn’t like it and it goes with her agenda.
This is an outrage.
Now the state is appealing and no doubt it will go to the supreme court but the problem is that the court is not exactly the most conservative and the two judges Christ has put on there are ones who were conservative anyway.
Now can anyone please anyone tell me why we go to all this trouble and hard work around this country of doing things the legal proper way when liberals and homo’s only go shopping for a judge.
why on this earth can we just not get a judge who we know will side with us and make a law stating that you have to married to be bale to adopt.
if there is a law stating you have to be ,married to adopt in our state then the homo’s will not be able to adopt thus they fail in their agenda.
It might be easier to do this instead of getting the constitutional amendment plus an amendment will be two years away and it means homo’s have got their hands on our children.
so again can anyone tell me why we don’t go judge shopping too?
so we have to get organized and have a group who will call the media everytime we see something we see as too liberal and one sided.
give me the phone numbers and surely we can get something done about the media’s coverage.
If they face a load of calls they will have to address this form both sides.
I would be more than willing to go on and explain my experience of going though the foster care and adoption programme with social services and tell everyone how bad it would be for a child to have two fathers or two mothers.
I know of not one child growing up who wanted that, we all wanted a mother and a father plus children should not be forced into a house with homosexuals
florida ping
so imagine a child being adopted by a homo , and for their life they will see mostly homo’s coming and going, they will be took to freak parades they have, they will be used a a trophy, the poor child will see two men sleeping in the same bed
THIS IS DISGUSTING AND SHAME ON THE JUDGE PUSHING HER AGENDA FROM THE BENCH
we need to get onto the media too
Enough...take her by force of impeachment.
Do it. Start now. What the heck are you afraid of. Your momentum is great on this do it now. over 60% said no to gay marriage DO THE SAME BY IMPEACHMENT.
Use the current attacks by hate filled bigoted gays over the prop 8 issue and harness the peoples obvious feelings and knowledge on this and spare children from parents who spoil what nature intended for them...a mother AND a father.
Cindy on the right and here "reason" on the left in the picture.
Cindy's previous boss in Miami was Janet Reno.....who shares her views on the subject.
