Ban on unmarried adoptions on ballot in Arkansas
A proposal to effectively ban gays and lesbians from fostering or adopting would place the measure on the November ballot in Arkansas. It would bar unmarried couples living together from adopting, while Arkansas already does not recognize gay marriages. Secretary of State Charlie Daniels certified the initiative after the Arkansas Family Council Action Committee submitted 85,389 valid voter signatures, above the 61,974 required. Jerry Cox, Family Council president, urged affirming married parents.
