The American Civil Liberties Union of Florida is freedom's watchdog, working daily in the courts, legislatures and communities to defend individual rights and personal freedoms guaranteed by the Constitution and the Bill of Rights.

On Saturday, January 9, 2010, Sex and the City star and LGBT rights advocate Cynthia Nixon joined the ACLU of Florida to kick off our campaign to end the ban on adoptions by gays and lesbians.
Florida's Adoption Ban is the only law in the country that categorically prohibits gays and lesbians from adopting. This discriminatory law hurts thousands of children who are languishing in Florida's foster care system by denying them a permanent home.
Proceeds support the ACLU's lesbian, gay, bisexual, and transgender rights work in Florida and across the country.
