It’s Valentine’s Day, and all I can think about (well, until my partner comes home) are the two court cases, one today and one tomorrow, that could have a tremendous impact on LGBT families. In Florida today, the Senate Committee on Children and Families is voting on whether to permit adoption by same-sex parents. Heart-wrenching stories like that of Franke Alexandre underscore why this is good for children, parents, and our society. Farther north, the New Jersey Supreme Court will hear a case tomorrow to determine if banning same-sex marriage is unconstitutional.
It’s not about religion. It’s not about politics. It’s about love.
