U.S. Sen. Kirsten Gillibrand (D-NY) has announced plans to introduced legislation that aims to eliminate anti-LGBT bias in adoption.

NY1 reports the proposed “Every Child Deserves a Family Act” would “prohibit adoption organizations that receive federal funding from discriminating against adoptive or foster parents based on their sexual orientation, gender identity or marital status.”

The AP adds Louisiana, Mississippi, and Michigan prohibit gay couples from jointly adopting while four other states restrict same-sex couples from using the second-parent adoption process.
