In a harsh ruling that underscores how constitutional amendments targeting gay families can be cited as justification to deny same-sex couples rights other than marriage, the Kentucky Court of Appeals has ruled that gays and lesbians must be excluded from step-parent style adoptions.
The ruling was handed down Sept. 13, reported the KY newspaper the Courier-Journal in a Sept. 16 story.
The reached unanimously by the Court of Appeals justices, who wrote an opinion excoriating one judge for having permitted, and others for possibly having permitted, such adoptions to take place.
