Huge victory, and the opposition has already started shouting that Judge Lederman is an activist judge and she should be voted out and blah blah blah. You know the drill. The appeal, though, comes from the state attorney general on behalf of the state’s Department of Children & Families.

Hopefully the Gills have been able to shield their children from most of this. I saw one news report from the Baltimore Examiner reporting that the boys are practicing writing their new last names.

That sound you just heard was my heart melting.

Yeah, I heard about that on NPR this evening. I told Shannon about it when I got home. It’s a great victory, especially in Florida where the laws are more strict than any other state concerning Gay Adoption.

Shannon and I both are absolutely disgusted that people are already trying to appeal the decision. As if the children haven’t been through enough already.

Regardless, it’s an incredible victory; and I’m glad this will hopefully give the topic much needed discussion and debate.

Thanks for the post.
