ACLU Freedom Files: Lesbian & Gay Parents | Florida

"Freedom to Parent: Lesbian & Gay Families" shows how bans on adoptions and fostering by same-sex couples end up hurting thousands of children who are desperate for good homes. The program looks at the impact of a Florida law that prevents needy children from being adopted by loving gay families.

There are tons of kids who have no families at all. 2 moms or 2 dads are better than none!

Why is this happening in beloved America, home of the free? A land of tolerance and goodwill? Nothing wrong with tha gays.

It' s me again, I have a lot of friends and almost all of them have step parents or single parents. Not me. My parents are strict but my friends love my parents. Not because they're cool cause they're not they're strict but they're real. My sister and I are very involved in our church and our parents make sure we're always giving back. We're a foster family to two little girls and that's important my parents say so we can give more kids a future.

I'm the girl in the video. I'm 14 now. My dad & I were looking at all this stuff & we read the comments. First comment, these aren't my birth parents. I came here & my sister & I were INSTANTLY accepted. They fought like crazy so we could stay together. When all this was happening my dad said, well now everyone want you girls, that's good. My parents have always loved us & we do have a mom, he's just a black man. You may not get it but I do my parents have raised me to feel not judge

@Jemon86 ur an annoying dickhead. It's not natural too YOU! To them, it is. And to those girls they could care less. I bet a million dollars, the girls would rather be with them than you.

It shouldn't matter whether you're parents are gay or straight it should only matter whether they love you unconditionally.

@jemon86 straight people can get HIV/AIDS too!

How is it harmful? Who does two guys plugging each other, or two girls grinding against each other actually hurt? It's sex between consenting adults, and people should be allowed to choose who they have sex with, or if they risk STDs, or if they use condoms, etc. Married, not, gay, not, we shouldn't go legislating what people are allowed to do in their bedrooms based on "you might get an STD". Just how much do you want the government stepping into people's private lives?
