Sean Shaw Statement on GOP Vote to Ban Gays & Lesbians from Adopting

Posted on July 12, 2018

The House Appropriations Committee on Wednesday passed an amendment allowing taxpayer-funded adoption agencies to deny LGBT families the ability to adopt a child based on religious objection. Democratic Attorney General candidate Sean Shaw offered the following statement:

“For far too long, the State of Florida refused to allow adoptions by members of the LGBT community. Thankfully, legislation was passed to cure this egregious denial of basic human rights. Now, Republicans are attempting to turn back the clock on our progress. House Republicans apparently didn’t learn from the President’s policy of separating families. Just as I said then that being pro-family doesn’t stop at the border, being pro-family means being pro-all families. As Attorney General, I will fight for the human rights of every Floridian.”

Paid for by Sean Shaw, Democrat, for Attorney General
