Two reasons come to mind:

1. The adoption agencies closest to them are all religious organizations, so they really have no choice.

And the more likely scenario considering the majority of Americans - including LGBT Americans - are Christian:

2. The LGBT couple are religious themselves and therefore understandably want to adopt from an agency affiliated with their faith.

This sounds like some stupid evangelical garbage that Trump keeps pandering to for whatever reason even tho he’s a huge sinner in the eyes of Christianity.

That's a silly idea and a horrible argument, as long as straight people make up the majority. I was making comparisons to other minorities because minorities are always the ones who get oppressed.


Oppression isnt unique to minorities. The majority can always be oppressed, like in South Africa.

Yes.

Do you think religious adoption agencies have a right to refuse to allow LGBT people to adopt solely based on their sexuality?


If they get any taxpayer funding, no. If they want to discriminate, they can say goodbye to government funds.

Any other thoughts?


Trump's doing this to distract from everything going on.
Yeah: Egalitarianism, equality
Meh: Labour, the EU
Nah: pointless discrimination, authoritarianism, Brexit, Trump, both American parties, the Conservatives

Anyway, the adoption agency could just turn down the taxpayer dollars, right?
