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, Cynthia Nixon will help us kick off our three-year campaign to end the ban on adoptions by gays and lesbians, and we hope that you will join us at The Shore Club in Miami Beach for this momentous event.
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.
Please join us for a poolside cocktail party featuring Cynthia Nixon, Sex and the City star and LGBT rights advocate. Proceeds will support the ACLU's lesbian, gay, bisexual, and transgender rights work in Florida and across the country.
