From the article:
Gov. Mitt Romney filed a bill Wednesday that would exempt the Boston Archdiocese's Catholic Charities from a state anti-discrimination law that says it must provide adoption services to gay and lesbian couples.
This state is sothoroughly fucked up. The sad thing is that I can definitely see this passing since the state can't interfere with religious prejudices but still wants to have Catholic Charities sell babies on the open market.
My very own school newspaper, The Heights, just ran a story on CC's decison to stop their adoption services since somehow giving children loving homes "violates the church's teachings on homosexuality." I fail to see the correlation and take offense at the insinuation that gay people are incapable of loving each other and providing a suitable environment for children to be raised.
What really bothers me though is this:Catholic Charities has been providing adoption services for almost a century but has only been under license with the state for the past two decades. In that time it has placed over 700 children in adoptive homes, 13 of which were same-sex households.They've done it before. Was it not contrary to Church teaching then? Did they have a sudden
Or is their screening process just so shitty that they failed to realize they were giving babies to dykes and fags?
