After losing in its attempt to force a Christian family to worship at the transgender altar, Washington’s Department of Children, Youth, and Families has surrendered.
The state agreed to a permanent injunction that means families are not required to enforce the state’s embrace of gender ideology when they take in foster care children, according to Just the News.
“DCYF is prohibited from denying foster family home license applicants, or licensed foster parents seeking renewal of their license, a full license consistent with the requests of the applicant/licensee or attaching any conditions or restrictions to the license solely because of their religious beliefs, including speech and actions pertaining to marriage, gender, or sexual relationships,” the injunction from District Court Judge David Estudillo said.
Shane and Jennifer DeGross had been battling the state since 2022 and went to court in 2024 after being told their license to serve as foster parents would only be renewed if they agreed to affirm gender transition language.
The court ruled that was likely to be a First Amendment violation.
Alliance Defending Freedom Senior Counsel Johannes Widmalm-Delphonse said the family wanted to be able to care for children without being forced to compromise their beliefs.
State officials “don’t have to agree with the DeGross’s religious beliefs to see the benefit of including them in the foster care system and inviting them in to help care for children in need,” Widmalm-Delphonse said.

MAYBE the pendelum has peaked? Sanity returning?
No, this is when some tranny is gonna pick up a rifle and shoot up a Christian church as payback......I pray I’m wrong but this is the fallen world we now find ourselves living in.
“Drag Artists for Expression NYC” (formerly Drag Queen
Story Hour NYC) has received significant public funding.
Records show the “nonprofit” received over $200,000 in taxpayer dollars since 2018 from New York City and State entities, including funding for appearances at public schools, libraries, and for programming, say reports.
Public Funding Details As of 2026 show city and state taxpayers spent nearly $700,000 to boost the program, up from over $200,000 reported in 2022.
“Drag Artists for Expression NYC” has received public funding from:
<><> the New York City Council,
<><>the Department of Education,
<><>the Department of Cultural Affairs,
<><>the Department of Youth and Community Development,
<><>and the New York State Council on the Arts.
Recent Fundin For the 2022-2023 budget cycle, included showing the NYC Council earmarked $80,000 for the group, a tripling of their previous year’s allocation.
The programs, which involve drag performers reading to children in schools and libraries....even a Drag Ball for kids.......have drawn both strong support for inclusivity and criticism from officials seeking to restrict public funds for them.
There’s definitely a reason that
Son of Satan DEMOCRAT Barack Hussein Obama and
Transgender Day of Visibility Resident Vegetable DEMOCRAT Joe Biden
kept pushing this garbage 🏳️🌈🏳️⚧️ upon Normal Society
They do the works of their Real Father (John 8:44)
Anyone ever wonder what’s behind all this trans nonsense? The people involved in this believe they’re changing the world, and in a way, they are — just not how they think. The power behind this is demonic, pure and simple. The enemy knows America is held up by several pillars: moral, economic, military, family, rights, etc. The enemy doesn’t have to knock down all the pillars for America to fall, just a few. He’s pretty much redefined marriage and family, but redefining gender will allow both moral and family pillars to crumble and eventually fall. One or two more fall and so does America.
Put on the full armor of God. The battle is on.
Amen thank you for your quality post! 👍🙏
“ After losing in its attempt to force a Christian family to worship at the transgender altar”
This is retarded.
This is not a Christian issue. It is a reality issue. NO ONE, Christian or not, should be regulated or compelled to endorse such absurdities.
“Those who can make you believe absurdities can make you commit atrocities,” which is attributed to the French Enlightenment writer Voltaire.
Actual Text: The original French text states, “Certainement qui est en droit de vous rendre absurde est en droit de vous rendre injuste,” which translates more accurately to “Certainly, whoever has the right to make you absurd has the right to make you unjust.”
That Rainbow flag is to attract children
Yes, agree.
My point was, claiming a religious exception to transanity implies that you don’t care if non-Christians practice child mutilation or other objectionable practices, when, of course, if you are a Christian, you do.
The objection is STRONGER if it’s based on reality.
After all these years, how is it that queers and trannys are suddenly ok, if not compulsory? What changed? You can’t just say after two thousand years that buggery is now normal and to be celebrated.
It's time for Trump to go full Pinochet.
