Ballot Item Targets Gay Adoptions
ADVERTISEMENT
Published: August 26, 2008
LITTLE ROCK, Ark. - A proposal aimed at effectively banning gays and lesbians from becoming foster or adoptive parents was cleared Monday to appear on this fall's ballot in Arkansas.
The measure would prohibit unmarried couples living together from fostering or adopting children, and Arkansas doesn't allow gays to marry or recognize gay marriages conducted elsewhere.
Secretary of State Charlie Daniels certified the proposed initiative for the Nov. 4 ballot after verifying that the Arkansas Family Council Action Committee submitted 85,389 valid signatures of registered voters; at least 61,974 signatures were required.
