Human rights court rules in favor of adoption by homosexuals

[x2_Iceman]

The European Court of Human Rights overturned French court rulings that prevented a single lesbian woman from adopting a child. The decision sets a precedent not just across the 27-nation European Union, but throughout the 47-member Council of Europe. Gay and lesbian groups say it opens the way for legal challenges in other European states with adoption laws similar to those of France — yet falls well short of a blanket ruling that would oblige all countries to allow adoption by homosexuals.

It's a step in the right direction, albeit a small one. Hopefully, courts here will follow suit.
