Purple on the map = full adoption rights
.
The US Supreme Court settled the marriage issue and several same-sex adoptions tied to state bans fell, but Mississippi dragged its feet and refused to allow couples the right.
Today, the Mississippi judge ruled for couples citing the Supreme Court decision that couples regardless of gender are entitled to the same rights and obligations of marriages.
Quote:
A federal judge ruled Thursday that Mississippi’s ban on same-sex couples adopting children is unconstitutional, making gay adoption legal in all 50 states.
U.S. District Judge Daniel Jordan issued a preliminary injunction against the ban, citing the Supreme Court’s decision legalizing same-sex marriage nationwide last summer. The injunction blocks Mississippi from enforcing its 16-year-old anti-gay adoption law.
The Supreme Court ruling “foreclosed litigation over laws interfering with the right to marry and rights and responsibilities intertwined with marriage,” Jordan wrote. “It also seems highly unlikely that the same court that held a state cannot ban gay marriage because it would deny benefits — expressly including the right to adopt — would then conclude that married gay couples can be denied that very same benefit.”
