Lobby celebrates adoption reform

The NSW Gay and Lesbian Rights Lobby (GLRL) and its supporters gathered at the Bank Hotel in Newtown on Tuesday to celebrate the recent legalisation of same-sex adoption in NSW.

The last hurdle to same-sex adoption in NSW was overcome on September 9  when the Legislative Council approved Sydney MP Clover Moore’s Adoption Amendment (Same-Sex Couples) Bill as amended by the Legislative Assembly earlier that day.

The Assembly voted 46-43 in favour of an amendment by Attorney General John Hatzistergos which sought to restrict the scope of Rockdale MP Frank Sartor’s amendment of the previous day.

Sydney Star Observer photographer Ann-Marie Calilhanna was at the celebration and her photos from the event are now in our online photo gallery. Click HERE to access them.
