        Because they receive tax dollars. There's a lot of precedent regarding religious orgs that receive public $ not being allowed to discriminate. If they want to abide by private rules they should use private funds.

        It is child abuse for homosexual parents to raise children! God finds homosexual behavior to be an ABOMINATION as stated in the Bible because it violates the design of his biology, so it follows that homosexual parents should not be raising children in homosexual sin.

        It is child abuse to raise children in a religion. God doesn't exist and you're warping their minds with fairytales about sky wizards and zombie messiahs.

        Learn to think critically. Research the Bible and look at the ruins of today to know that the Bible is God's word, for example, the ruins of Saddam and Gomorrah.

        This is an outrage. I was a foster parent. I first met my foster child through volunteer work at a children shelter for children with emotional problems. He was taken away from his family because of abuse and place in foster care where he again was abused. At 8 years old he lost

        all touch with reality & placed in the shelter. So many of the states foster care systems are lacking good homes with caring loving people who aren't in it for the money. There is no reason why a single parent or same sex parents can't provide what these children need most LOVE.

        It's like saying black people should've gone to a different restaurant. It shouldn't happen. Forget the church, the ACLU are doing the Christian thing and helping those in need.

        Just pretend the orphanage is Twitter and the LGBT parents are conservatives and it might make more sense to you.

        It makes zero sense, it's not the Christian thing to do. Anyone who thinks that this is Christian and just as Christ would do, then they truly know absolutely nothing.

        Christianity is pretty clear that it has intolerance for the LGBT lifestyle. It’s built into the religion.

        It's actually not. And they don't turn away people who get pregnant before they get married, they even marry them in their churches, and that's condemned heavily in the bible.

        LGBT intolerance is built into the religion. It’s cited multiple times throughout the bible and practiced by a lot of Christians. If you don’t get this then you must be a very confused individual.
