Arkansas Ruling Strikes Down Adoption Ban: People with LGBTQ Parents Celebrate!

Just days after former Arkansas governor Mike Huckabee disparaged LGBTQ families, a circuit judge struck down the law banning unmarried couples from adopting or foster-parenting children in that state.
The Arkansas law was approved by voters in November 2008, during the same election that in Californians faced anti-gay marriage initiative, Proposition 8.
COLAGE, a national network of people with a lesbian, gay, bisexual, transgender, or queer (LGBTQ) parent hailed this news as a step forward toward full equality for our families. At COLAGE we know that it is love that makes a family, and people who grow up with an LGBTQ parent should be granted the respect and equality that all families deserve.
