Christian couple told they can't adopt due to their views on homosexuality.

The government isn't in the business of creating and upholding morals. The government should create and uphold laws, and one of those laws is the protection of religious beliefs. The government should no more deny a homophobic religious person the chance of adopting a child as it should an anti-religious homosexual. People's beliefs should be protected under the law, end of.

The government should no more deny a racist religious person the chance of adopting a child as it should an non-racist atheist person.

Emphasis mine. And don't try to say I'm comparing apples & oranges. Homosexuals are a protected class in the USA, so that argument won't fly.

BTW, the welfare of the child trumps the potential foster parents / adopter's rights, every time, in every situation, without question. You don't like it? Well, I guess that just sucks for you.

That's cute. They can still believe whatever they'd like to believe. Doesn't mean they get to adopt. Adoption is a privilege, not a right.

Let me ask you a question? If a Christian Scientist couple was denied adoption because they stated that they wouldn't provide the child with medical care other than prayer, would you still be saying that they should be allowed to adopt? I didn't think so.
