For the first time in Senate history, a bill has been introduced to encourage agencies not to discriminate against lesbian, gay, bisexual and transgender couples seeking to adopt.
“As more and more LGBT couples are getting married and starting families, we have a great opportunity to place children without a family into happy homes,” said Sen. Kirsten E. Gillibrand, New York Democrat and lead sponsor of the Every Child Deserves a Family Act, Monday at the Huffington Post.
The past year has seen many moves toward gay equality, and “the momentum is there to build on our progress,” she said, noting the repeal of “don’t ask, don’t tell,” passage of gay marriage in New York and the “unprecedented assault” on the Defense of Marriage Act (DOMA) in the U.S. Senate and in the courts.
Ms. Gillibrand’s bill would deny federal funding to any entity that considers sexual orientation, gender identity or marital status when contemplating prospective foster or adoptive families. A companion bill already has been introduced in the House by Rep. Fortney Pete Stark, California Democrat.

A direct shot against the bow for all Catholic adoption agencies. Yet another reason to reject all federal funding. With shekels come shackles.
Protion of sex deviance, and destruction of the family=Marxist/Communist Ideals.
Gotta let those lesbos turn little boys into “princesses” donja know.
“Protion”=”Promotion”
This is the same person who acted like a Conservative a few years back.. Even supported gun rights. The “bam bam” she turned into a left wing idiot. I just do not understand how someone is so sleezy and yes HATEFUL. Although if you take .gov money you have to dance to their tune.
It’s not unusual for women to say they would rather kill their babies then let them be “adopted out.” This sort of thing makes adoption an even less desirable alternative.
This wench needs to be defeated next year... Shes Chuckies lap dog.
The inevitable conclusion of this is that the Federal Government will end up involved in another fuction it is not suited for, and less children will end up finding loving homes. Homosexuals make up 2% of the population. A tiny percentage of all homosexuals choose monogamous relationships and want to adopt, but their "rights" trump everything.
I can not imagine any reason, whatsoever, for any Christian agency to take federal money to take care of children. That said, it’s dead in the house, so we can await The Present in the White House to order this by executive order next.
Isn’t she the one that Dingy Harry said was hot?
Riiiiight. As if this is being done in the best interests of the children instead of what's best for the gay activist agenda.
According to her bio on Wiki, she's Roman Catholic herself. Go figure.
As more GLBT get married?????? Just what is it that the Bisexuals are doing ???? Marrying a man and a woman each??? I have a gay male friend who married a lesbian woman and no one objected. They latter got divorced and she now lives with another lesbian. I have a male transsexual acquaintance who has at seperate times “married” a straight man and latter a lesbian woman, and finally another transsexual man. At any rate I am getting quite confused about the whole thing...
“According to her bio on Wiki, she’s Roman Catholic herself. Go figure.”
As a Roman Catholic, I must say it is a disgrace that so many attacks on the family originate in the schismatic American Catholic Church. Every member of the hierarchy that doesn’t publicly excommunicate the “Catholic” politicians pushing these attacks on the Church should be sacked; they have created a “shadow Church” with no visible link to Christianity.
The article says the Catholic agencies have already stepped back from running child placement services because they have been forced into dealing with LGBT couples.
The real kicker in this article is that a reivew of 59 studies was recently published that contradicts the proposed leglislation. The conclusion of the review was that broad statements equating the rearing of children in gay/lesbian households to the rearing of children in straight households cannot be supported. Gillibrand runs counter to the recent research (and centuries of common sense) in favor of an ideology that promotes gay/lesbian activiism.
Gillibrand is Roman Catholic herself, at least per her bio on Wikipedia.
So children are to be sentenced to a life with queers, freaks and perverts without even a trial?
