The German state of Bavaria is launching a legal challenge to the federal government's new adoption law which allows partners in same-sex relationships to adopt each other's children.

The law was approved by the lower house in Parliament last October. (story) The new law stops short of giving gays, who are legally recognized as couples under Germany's domestic partnership law, full rights to adopt children. But if one partner has children or brings them into the partnership, the other partner can now legally adopt them if neither parent objects.

Bavarian Premier Edmund Stoiber said the law is not in the best interests of Germany's children.

isn't Bavaria very conservative
