Hollywood heavyweights have vowed to call for a boycott on filming in Georgia if a bill that would make it legal for child welfare organizations to stop same-sex parents from adopting on grounds of religious liberty becomes law. Georgia’s Senate voted 35-19 in favor of Senate Bill 375, or the Keep Faith in Adoption and Foster Care Act, Feb. 23. Ligon and his supporters believe the legislation will encourage more faith-based adoption agencies to open in Georgia. “There are agencies that are willing to do this if they’re given legal certainty.”Opponents, however, see SB 375 as little more than government-sanctioned discrimination targeting the LGBTQ community. Among them is Ben Wexler, who worked as an executive producer on “The Grinder” and a consulting producer on “Arrested Development.” Wexler spoke out against the Keep Faith in Adoption and Foster Care Act on Twitter late Friday.
