Numerous bills filed in Florida Legislature seek to advance homosexual agenda, please send email to officials

Do you want the State of Florida to:

• Approve Domestic Partnerships which are in effect same-sex marriages?
• Make it lawful for transvestite males to use restrooms designated for women?
• Authorize homosexuals to adopt children?

Numerous bills have been filed for the 2010 Florida Legislative Session which seek to advance these agenda items of homosexual activists.

These bills seek to approve Domestic Partnerships for same-sex couples, add “gender identity” and “sexual orientation” to discrimination law and authorize homosexual couples to adopt children.

Florida Family Association has prepared the following summary of bills that currently seek to advance the homosexual agenda.

S 232 by Sobel Domestic Partnerships; Sets forth fees and costs to be applied when petitioning for a dissolution of a domestic partnership or registering a domestic partnership, respectively. Provides applicability of domestic partnerships to state tax laws. Requires two individuals who wish to become partners in a domestic partnership to complete and file a Declaration of Domestic Partnership form with the clerk of the circuit court, etc.

HB 477 by Steinberg Domestic Partnerships; Sets fees & costs for dissolution or registration of domestic partnership; provides applicability for state tax laws; requires DOH to examine certificates of domestic partnership & dissolution reports; requires clerk to transmit declarations of domestic partnership; authorizes DOH to issue certified copy of certain vital records to domestic partner; includes domestic partnership within domestic violence provisions, etc.

HB 391 by Skidmore Prohibited Discrimination: Designates act "Competitive Workforce Act"; prohibits discrimination based on sexual orientation & gender identity or expression; defines terms; substitutes references to "disability" for references to "handicap"; revises & conforms terminology.

S 798 GENERAL BILL by Gelber Prohibited Discrimination: Revises provisions to include sexual orientation and gender identity or expression as impermissible grounds for discrimination. Revises provisions to include sexual orientation and gender identity or expression as impermissible grounds for discrimination in public lodging establishments and public food service establishments. Specifies when an individual has an impairment for certain purposes, etc.

HB 3 Adoption by Brandenburg; Repeals provision relating to prohibition against adoption by homosexual.

S 102 - Adoption by Rich Adoption: Repeals provision relating to the prohibition against adoption by a homosexual.

Heterosexual couples can marry if they want their relationship legally recognized. It is unnecessary for the State of Florida to authorize Domestic Partnerships for heterosexuals. The Domestic Partnership bill is being pushed by homosexual activists who demand that the State of Florida legally recognize same-sex relationships.

The “sexual orientation” and “gender identity” categories fail to meet the three point criteria for inclusion in discrimination laws which is proving a demonstrable pattern of broad discrimination exists, that such pattern results in widespread economic disparity and category traits are immutable. The “gender identity” category will make it lawful for transgendered men to enter restrooms set apart for women.

Children should not be adopted by homosexuals because of the dysfunctional role model it gives to a child already challenged with overcoming dysfunction.

Florida Family Association has prepared an email for you to send to the office of Governor Charlie Crist, Florida Senate President Jeff Atwater, Florida Speaker Larry Cretul and Chairs of the first committees where these bills that advance the homosexual agenda have been assigned.
