(Austin, Texas) Legislation to prevent gays and lesbians from becoming foster parents has been presented in the Texas legislature.
The bill, authored by Representative
Robert Talton (R-Houston), has been referred to the House Committee on Juvenile
Justice and Family Issues.
"This measure is one of the worst anti-gay
parenting measures anywhere in the country," said Aimee Gelnaw, executive
director of the Family Pride Coalition.
"Not only would it prohibit
LGB people from becoming foster parents, this bill also calls for the removal
of children currently living in foster homes with LGB parents. We know that children
need loving and stable homes, and this bill runs in complete opposition to the
best interest of previously displaced Texas children."
The Lesbian/Gay
Rights Lobby of Texas is sponsoring “Rally for Youth, Rally for Our Families”
March 16 on the steps of the Texas State Capitol.
"We must do
all we can to defeat this hate-based measure,” said Randall Ellis, executive
director of the (LGRL).
“This bill would only do harm to Texas
children. We must make every committee member on Juvenile Justice and Family Issues
understand that this bill would wreak havoc on the lives of displaced, abused
and neglected children.”
