U.S. District Judge Daniel P. Jordan III ruled that Mississippi’s law barring gay people and same sex couples from adopting unconstitutional today. The law violates the 14th Amendment to the US Constitution’s Equal Protection Clause according to the judge, and Mississippi is enjoined from enforcing it.
From NCRM:
A federal judge has just blocked Mississippi's ban on gay people and same-sex couples adopting children. U.S. District Judge Daniel P. Jordan III, citing the Supreme Court's Obergefell decision, ruled in favor of the plaintiffs and barred the Mississippi Department of Human Services and its director from enforcing that ban.
Judge Jordan wrote that it 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."
And he ruled the Mississippi ban "violates the Equal Protection Clause of the United States Constitution."
