JACKSON, Miss. — Gov. Ronnie Musgrove recently signed legislation to ban homosexual couples from adopting children in the state of Mississippi.
Musgrove, a Democrat, gave his approval of the law after it passed a vote in the state’s legislature. The governor is a member of the First Baptist Church of Batesville, Miss.
Supporters said the legislation was spurred in part by Vermont’s new law giving homosexual couples nearly all of the benefits of marriage.
Alan Kilgore, pastor of the First Baptist Church, Batesville, and Musgrove’s minister, told Baptist Press he supported the governor. “I don’t think it is God’s plan for homosexuals to raise children,” Kilgore said.
