Kentucky GOP Moves To Ban Gay Adoption

Human rights group The Fairness Campaign called Senator Gary Tapp’s bill "deceptively-worded." "It is identical to a measure recently passed in Arkansas that prohibits adoption or foster care by an applicant 'cohabiting with a sexual partner outside of a marriage that is legally valid in Kentucky'," the group said. "The language of the bill renders not just same-gender couples unfit to parent, but countless heterosexual couples that could serve as "next of kin" placement for children in need. "The state would be forced to provide millions in additional foster care, an irresponsible burden to add to the Commonwealth's economic crisis."
