PM stays mum on gay adoption issue

Fri 8 Jul 2011 In: New Zealand Daily News View at Wayback

The Prime Minister has made no commitments when pressed on the issue of gay adoption at a conservative Christian conference. John Key was asked by Family First Director Bob McCroskie about his stance, and replied: "I'd have to go and think about that. I'd have to go and have a look at it." More than 85 organisations were at today's conference in Auckland, which was organised by Family First. The group is against gay marriage, which it has described as "social engineering" and gay adoption, because it claims "children deserve better". Gay couples can't adopt under New Zealand's 1955 Adoption Act.
