Florida Bill Would Let Adoption Agencies Refuse Gay Couples
CBS MIAMI ^ | 4/2/15

Posted on 04/02/2015 9:30:46 AM PDT by SoFloFreeper

A bill, ready for a House vote, would allow private adoption agencies to use religious and/or moral reasons to deny gay couples wanting to adopt children.

... Republican Rep. Jason Brodeur said if gay couples want to adopt, they can go to the Department of Children and Families or a private agency that don’t have a problem with it.

You are aware that these homosexuals take these kids to homosexual parades and surround them in homosexuals. There was some children who have now grown up who were adopted by homosexuals who testified that they were more hurt by being raised homosexuals.
I was in foster homes and trust me there was not one child who wanted to be adopted by homosexuals at all.

The children I have met who were raised by homosexuals have all been screwed up in the head and therefore letting children go into these homes will only hurt them.

So what's the answer? Way back when Barney Frank was my HOR rep, even he said that adoption into homosexual couples should be a last resort.

You mentioned having been in foster homes at times. Are foster homes a better answer?

Oh this is definitely going to be the next outrageous outrage of the minute...

Yup, any minute now some news reporter will be walking into a small town pizza parlor and asking if they support the law. Please God the owner has the good sense to say "No comment" and show them the door.

Foster leads to adoption a lot of times. Yes foster homes made me realize that the world is not about me, I learned to take care of myself, and yes I learned to play with others and how to communicate. It was strict but so what. it was better than going to two men and then being taken to a homosexual parade and seeing two men in bed in the morning and then seeing them kiss before they go to work. That goes for homosexual women too.

Yes children can go to adopted parents or foster homes where they can be looked after. Nuns etc can also help out.

Lets not forget that Catholic charities was forced to close down in MA because two homosexuals said they wanted children. Now these homosexuals in MA could have gone to many other places but no they opted for a Christian group. My wife was adopted through Catholic charities and she is B/S over what happened up there.

Like I said every child I have seen while working up in MA and who was adopted by homosexuals were screwed up.
People who were adopted by homosexuals have just testified in court saying that they were hurt and they should never have seen what they did by the homsoexuals who adopted them.

Perhaps the children would be better off if the US went back to orphanages?

The cost of adoption and the red tape is totally overwhelming. Maybe if they didn't make it almost impossible for a middle income family to adopt, those kids would have loving, caring homes. Without a huge bank account, you don't stand a chance at the adoption agencies.

Yep, or they will ask the coaches of every single Florida sports team, then they will go talk to Rick Scott and Marco Rubio about it, at which point both of them will start eating their own feet.

Meanwhile Imam Obama is going to facilitate a nuclear weapon to a country that routinely executes homosexuals, and no one will say a peep about it.

Thanks you for refencing that article about adoption SoFloFreeper.

On a related note …

As mentioned in related threads, the states have never amended the Constitution to expressly protect gay agenda issues. And what pro-gay activist judges evidently don’t want low-information citizens to know is that the states are free to make laws which discriminate against such issues imo, including gay adoption and gay marriage, as long as such laws don’t violate Section 1 of the 14th Amendment by unreasonably abridging constitutionally enumerated protections.

14th Amendment, Section 1:

All persons born or naturalized in the United States, and subject to the jurisdiction thereof, are citizens of the United States and of the State wherein they reside. No State shall make or enforce any law which shall abridge the privileges or immunities of citizens of the United States [emphasis added]; nor shall any State deprive any person of life, liberty, or property, without due process of law; nor deny to any person within its jurisdiction the equal protection of the laws.

Note that the “privileges or immunities” term which John Bingham, the main author of Section 1, used in that section is just another way to refer to constitutionally enumerated rights, most of these well-known rights listed in the Bill of Rights.

On the other hand, Christians need to bear in mind that people wrestling with the slavery of same-sex sexual desires may nonetheless be seeking the truth in Jesus. And Christians refusing to do business with such people may be a stumbling block for finding Jesus.

In fact, 1 Corinthians 6:9-11 indicates that certain members of that church had been wrestling with same-sex relationships but had evidently repented and accepted God’s grace to turn their lives around.

The Church has lost a lot of its moral authority on the issue because of the scandal of priests abusing young boys.

It's sad. We have so few organizations in the US which still have the authority and will to defend our most basic values.

I agree.
It would be nice if Church leaders got together and talked to Hindu’s, Jews, Muslims etc and had a massive protest against this hate and bigotry towards religion.

Homosexuals should NOT be adopting children.

That isn’t the point of the article, however.

After the lynch mob in IN, the FL House Speaker will put the bill on hold to study it would impact the economy. In other words, they see if they can have permission from the Miami Marlins/Dolphins, Tampa Bay Bucs/Devi Rays, Orlando Magic, Disney, and Jacksonville Jaguars.
