I’ve heard that Catholic Charities or some Catholic group in Massachusetts had been forced out of the adoption business because they were not going to adopt out children to homosexual couples.

Does anyone else remember this happening? The legal issues were there because it would be discrimination not to adopt out children to legally married ( in Mass. ) same-sex couples.

Yes, as far as church/state issues, we may well see the state interfering with how churches define marriage and family relationships within their own denominations.

Yes, you are right, Catholic Charities quit adopting to couples in the state because they would have had to adopt them to gay couples or have their license pulled.

It's true.

What's to stop them? The courts and legislature are acting tyranically. Not only are they thwarting the will of the people, they're attempting to thwart reality.

Homosexuals can't marry any more than a pig and a rock can.
