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

[Dotard]

I guess I hold the view that something that isn't a choice that also has historically been abused in a society, such as homosexuality should be protected more so by a society and government. I'm not saying we should be bubble-wrapping gay people from abuse but if we get the opportunity to stop someone's bullshit, and bigoted views being spread to a new generation then we should. That way we may actually be able to wipe out homophobia (and any other form of intolerance), instead of pandering to ideals of protecting everyone's opinions, despite them opinions being a complete negative to the wider population.

See what I did there?

I'd say it's a pretty good sign that the people who are looking to adopt hold views that would be seen by the majority of society as unacceptable....

I do believe a majority of society views atheism as unacceptable.
