Gay adoption: A new take on the American famil

In Atlanta, Georgia 5 year old boy Jackson Manford- Roach is one out of 65,000 children being raised by same sex parents in the United States. His parents Jeffrey Roach and Ken Manford say they are "not bothered by the non- traditional character of their family".They also say they are just as loving as straight or biological parents. Its seems that same sex couples turn to adopting as a source to form a family, since they are denied the right to marry in every state with the exception of Massachusetts. There are many states that do not have specific laws on gay foster parenting. Florida falls to be the only state that bans homosexual individuals from adopting children. There has been arguments that claim that same sex couples cannot provide the child with the complete influence of the other sex. The Child Welfare League of America, say that shutting off adoption to homosexuals will narrow the pool of potential parents.
The Gay Rights Movements officially began on June 27, 1969. At the Stonewall Inn in New York City over 200 homosexuals fought back against prejudice police officers. Riots and rallies continued for three day after that one night. 5,000 people marched in New York City to commemorate about that night and to take a stand against such injustice. Groups have been formed to advocate gay rights all over the country. Now, laws for protecting homosexuals from discrimination have been enacted.
