Virginia’s social services board has rejected proposed regulations that would have prohibited adoption agencies from discriminating against prospective parents because they’re gay.
The board voted earlier this month to strip that protection from proposed regulations. The vote came despite objections from some board members that they didn’t have enough time to examine the issue after the state department of social services removed the provision in mid-April.
Virginia now allows adoption only by married couples and singles, regardless of sexual orientation.
