Jason St. Amand READ TIME: 1 MIN.
Sen. Kirsten Gillibrand announced a bill Sunday that would remove legal barriers to adoption by lesbian, gay and transgender parents.
Gillibrand (D-N.Y.) said she will introduce legislation this week that would prohibit discrimination against adoptive parents.
The Every Child Deserves a Family Act would prohibit any entity that receives federal funds from discriminating against adoptive or foster parents based on sexual orientation, gender identity or marital status.
