So now because some paper pushing cunt made being gay-friendly a condition of adoption there is a baby without a family...
...You think this is a win?
What's worse, being in a foster home or being told that gays are immoral? I'd chose the later, thanks.
I'm sure that isn't the only thing these two are fucked up about. "Pentecostals" are a whole special brand of stupid!

So no pentecostals can adopt either? What about Evangelists? Mormons?

You can push paper without being a cunt, you can be a cunt without pushing paper, use the two terms together to describe a particular type of cunt and suddenly everyone in government is inherently useless!
Bravo for the stunning example of non-sequitur!
Over here in the US "paper-pusher" is a derogatory term for bureaucrats, particularly government bureaucrats & your previous posts already show you hold mostly contempt for governments. I was just putting 2 & 2 together. Sorry if I offended you.

This is a foster care application, not an adoption. So these two would get a kid, shit in its head for a while, and then pass it along to someone else.
No thanks.

What about racists? Petty criminals? The poor & destitute? Quadriplegics? Pitbull owners? What do they all have in common with homophobes? They are all poor adoption or foster home candidates in this day & age. Sorry if you don't agree, but religion had nothing to do with why they weren't allowed to adopt. Statistically the "paper-pushing cunt" was probably also a Christian.
For all any of us know they were trying to adopt a child (since apparently you just pulled baby out of nowhere) that already self identifies as homosexual.

Sometimes you need a firm fist... sometimes. This is one of those times.
I'd rather die before I let myself get brainwashed. A brainwashed me is detrimental to society so I hope that it doesn't exist. A brainwashed foster kid is worse than a kid with no foster parents, in my honest opinion.

You didn't come close to offending.
Over here paper-pusher (or pen-pusher more commonly) is a type of job not in any way restricted to government.
Contempt is the wrong word, I think there are important roles for government, I just think there are tons of things that they're involved in that they are neither good at nor needed to do and there are plenty of things they get involved in that are down right detrimental to society.

You really think that someone being raised in a, say, southern baptist home with two parents and siblings is WORSE than someone going from home to home never forming strong family bonds and all the psychological problems that brings? I HIGHLY doubt it.

I'm sure this Christian couple's home isn't the only option available for placing a foster or adoptive child.
Let the child be placed with a stable, committed gay couple instead. At least then they're more likely to learn about tolerance instead of bigotry.

I do too. For the most part adoption / foster care isn't one of them. I'd much rather a secular government be in charge of it, with all that entails, than a corporation or (shudder) religion.
