About: In re Gill

An Entity of Type: Supreme Court of the United States case, from Named Graph: http://dbpedia.org, within Data Space: dbpedia.org

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. 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.

dbo:abstract
  • In re: Gill fue un caso judicial sentenciado por los tribunales de Florida en 2010. El demandante fue Martin Gill, un hombre gay declarado, que solicitó al tribunal adoptar a dos niños que él y su pareja estaban criando en acogida. La adopción solicitada por Gill estaba prohibida por la ley de 1977 que impedía la adopción a los gays y las lesbianas en ese estado.​ Tras cuatro días de juicio en el tribunal de primera instancia la juez Cindy S. Lederman declaró inconstitucional la ley que prohibía la adopción a los homosexual, y que violaba el derecho de igual protección de los hijos y de sus futuros padres, y concedió la solicitud de adopción de Gill.​ El estado de Florida apeló la decisión del tribunal.​ Los argumentos se presentaron ante un tribunal de tres jueces del tercer circuito de apelación de Florida en una vista oral el 26 de agosto de 2009.​ El tribunal de distrito confirmó la sentencia del tribunal de primera instancia en favor de los demandantes el 22 de septiembre de 2010, y el estado declinó presentar más apelaciones, lo que supuso el final de la prohibición para adoptar a los homosexuales en Florida que había durado 33 años.

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. The state of Florida appealed the trial court decision. Oral arguments were heard by a three judge panel of the Florida Third District Court of Appeal on August 26, 2009. The district court upheld the trial court's ruling in favor of the plaintiffs on September 22, 2010, and the state declined to pursue any further appeals, thus effectively nullifying the anti-gay adoption statute. The Florida Legislature undertook comprehensive adoption reform in 2015, repealing the 1977 ban on homosexual adoption, which the state had not enforced since 2010. (en)
