LANSING, Michigan, September 22, 2017 (LifeSiteNews) -- The American Civil Liberties Union is suing the state of Michigan for allowing Christian adoption agencies to place children in homes with a mom and a dad.
The ACLU is representing lesbians Kristy and Dana Dumont against the Michigan Department of Health and Human Services and the Michigan Children’s Services Agency over laws allowing religious exemptions for Christian adoption agencies.
Dumont v. Lyon is the first legal action challenging laws that allow faith-based agencies to follow policies consistent with their beliefs. “We want to send a message to legislators,” ACLU lawyer Leslie Cooper said, “We have to make clear these kinds of laws are unconstitutional.”
But National Review’s Margot Cleveland suspects an even more sinister agenda behind the ACLU lawsuit. “The end game is to rid the public sector of religious organizations unless they capitulate to the LGBT agenda,” she surmised.
Gay, lesbian, and transgender groups are backing the lawsuit with public ads. Movement Advancement Project produced a TV commercial called “Kids Pay the Price,” which portrays children harmed by religious freedom. The LGBTQI activist organization laments the current wave of 45 religious exemption bills introduced in 22 states during the past year.
“The U.S. Supreme Court’s Hobby Lobby and Trinity Lutheran decisions reaffirmed … government should respect the free exercise rights of organizations that seek to operate according to their deeply held beliefs,” Focus on the Family president Jim Daly told USA Today. “Such respect enables entities like faith-based adoption agencies to fill a critical need in society.”

The LGBLT community actively works to force acceptance of itself on other people.
It is probably our law. Tough tiddlies.
This is no longer an America I can recognize.
People that are putting their desire to pretend above a child’s best chance to have a good outcome are suing to force Catholic/Christian Adoption agencies to go against their conscience or go out of business.
A child is not a commodity.
Maybe I’m missing something here, but it seems to me that the easiest way around this crap is to have religious organizations process their own adoptions without ever dealing with the state.
There are two females; so what’s the problem? Don’t want to go through the ‘bother’ of being pregnant? Then why go through the ‘bother’ of raising a child?
If I am not mistaken, two lesbos from Michigan just got sentenced to prison for torturing (and killing ?) their adopted 5 year-old son.
The mentally ill adopting children by definition is abuse. IMHO, they’ll lose this suit unless the ACLU communists successsfully judge shop.
I think it’s more than that... they need new (young) playtoys (:/)
So they can adopt, just not from all agencies.
That makes this a game to advance their agenda.
God help us or maybe we are beyond that.
Thank God not killing. The boy is adjusting well with a foster family.

I am glad to hear that. Every child deserves a good mom and a good dad. And no role pretenders.
