ACLU Action Update:
Urge Florida Officials to Support Overturning the Gay
Adoption Ban
August 28, 2002
In March, the ACLU Lesbian and Gay Rights Project launched
a website to fight Florida's Gay Adoption Ban. Florida's law is by far the
toughest ban on gay adoption in the country as it prohibits all gay people from
adopting children.
www.LetHimStay.com details the story of
Steve Lofton, Roger Croteau and their five kids. Florida caseworkers have begun
the process of finding another adoptive family for Bert, their 10-year-old, who
has never known another family.
Since the initial website launch,
Governor Jeb Bush has announced that his nominee to head the Florida Department
of Children and Families, the agency that handles adoption, is someone who in
the past has said that he is opposed to gay parenting of any kind. Urge
both the Governor and his choice to head the Department to change their position
and publicly support repealing the ban.

Secretary Reiger at:
