In re Gill
''In re: Gill'' is a landmark Florida court case that in 2010 ended Florida's 33-year ban on adoptions by homosexuals. In 2007, Frank Martin Gill, an openly gay man, had petitioned the circuit court to adopt two boys that he and his partner had been raising as foster children since 2004. Gill was prohibited from adopting by a 1977 Florida law prohibiting adoption by gay men and lesbians in that state.〔ACLU, ("In re: Gill - Case Profile" ), January 19, 2011.〕 After a four-day trial challenging the law, on November 25, 2008, Judge Cindy S. Lederman declared the ban violated the equal protection rights of the children and their prospective parents under the Florida Constitution, and granted Gill's adoption request.〔Almanzar, Yolanne, ("Florida Gay Adoption Ban Is Ruled Unconstitutional" ), ''New York Times'', November 25, 2008. 〕
The state of Florida appealed the trial court decision.〔Morales, Ileana, ("Gay Adoption before Florida Legislature, courts" ), ''Associated Press'', April 29, 2009. 〕 Oral arguments were heard by a three judge panel of the Florida Third District Court of Appeal on August 26, 2009.〔Anderson, Curt ("Fla. gay adoption ban goes to appeals court" ), ''Associated Press'', August 26, 2009. 〕 The district court upheld the trial court's ruling in favor of the plaintiffs on September 22, 2010,〔(【引用サイトリンク】url=https://www.aclu.org/lgbt-rights_hiv-aids/re-gill-case-profile )〕 and the state declined to pursue any further appeals, thus effectively nullifying the anti-gay adoption statute, which the state no longer enforces.
