Republican state Sen. William Ligon sponsored the bill which passed the chamber by 35 to 19. Religious organizations claim that they have a duty not to place children with gay couples. The state wishes to endorse their prejudice with a license to discriminate. This means that children might not be placed with the best available adoptive parents.
Georgia would become the eighth state to pass such a law. Several are in various stages of legal challenge. Eventually one of these cases will make its way to the Supreme Court.
