Committee Defeats Bill to Ban Gays from Adopting
Children
Mar 16, 2005, 2:36pm
NASHVILLE, Tenn. -- A House committee voted down a bill
to ban homosexuals from adopting children, during an
emotional debate Wednesday that included the House
speaker calling the bill's sponsor a "master at
political divisiveness."
The
Children and Family Affairs Committee voted 11-9 to
defeat the measure, which had been watered down by a
House subcommittee last week to remove references to
homosexuals and to instead give preference to
heterosexual, married couples over singles.
But the
full committee decided Wednesday to vote on the original
bill and not include the amendment.
