Support the Repeal of FL's Ban on Gay Adoption

Florida is still the only state that explicitly denies LGBTs the right to adopt even though it will let people who have been convicted of assault, battery, domestic violence, drug use/sale, and even child abuse adopt five years after the "incidents" upon review by a panel. LGBTs automatically get a no but criminals get a review. Oh and in Florida LGBTs can foster a child indefinitely, they just can't adopt one.

While we the undersigned know you are currently working to overturn the recent case in Florida that ruled it unconstitutional for Florida to deny Martin Gill%u2019s foster children the right of permanency by refusing to let Mr. Gill adopt the children simply because he is gay, we also know you supported the recently passed federal hate crimes bill (Matthew Shepard and James Byrd Jr. Hate Crimes Prevention Act) that gave federal protection to members of the LGBT community. Florida CFO Alex Sink, your likely opponent in the upcoming race to become Florida%u2019s next governor, has already come out in support of this legislation.  She has promised to sign the bill if it comes to her desk. Can you promise to do the same or will you continue to straddle the line between support for the LGBT community and disdain for it?
