Gay adoption before Florida Legislature, courts. “The state Legislature is faced with a bill aimed at overturning the state’s 1977 ban on gay adoption, and Florida’s Third District Court of Appeals must resolve a lawsuit over the issue stemming from Gill’s case. The case is likely to move on to the Florida Supreme Court. The court case will likely resolve questions posed by gay rights advocates before the bill does. The legislation is expected to die without coming to a vote before the Legislature adjourns next week.”
