Spotlight On...
Nebraska’s Politics & The State of LGBTQ Families
(Lesbian, Gay, Bisexual, Transgender and Queer)

Did you know that Gay and Lesbian parents cannot participate in second-parent adoptions in this state?

Are you aware of how the recent Constitutional Amendment (Section 29) can impact LGBTQ families, or how the policy is currently fairing in the courts?
