Arkansas Department of Human Services v. Cole : ウィキペディア英語版 | Arkansas Department of Human Services v. Cole
''Arkansas Department of Human Services v. Cole'' is a case decided by the Arkansas Supreme Court concerning the adoption rights of unmarried couples. On April 7, 2011, the Arkansas Supreme Court unanimously struck down Arkansas Act 1, passed by voters two and a half years earlier. ==Background==
On November 4, 2008, Arkansas voters passed "Act 1" prohibiting unmarried couples from jointly adopting. The law disproportionately targeted gay couples, as they could not marry in the state at the time. On December 30, 2008, plaintiffs Sheila Cole amongst others filed a lawsuit in Pulaski County Circuit Court against the Arkansas Department of Human Services and others seeking to declare the statute unconstitutional. The plaintiffs contended that the act violated Articles 2, Section 2 and Section 15 of the Arkansas Constitution as well as the Fifth and the Fourteenth Amendment to the United States Constitution.
