Utah judge takes foster child away from lesbians because they are lesbians

Three months ago, April Hoagland and Rebecca Peirce welcomed a baby girl into their Utah home as foster parents. But this week, the couple was ordered by a state judge to give the baby up. The reason he gave, the couple said, is that they were lesbians.

Where's he getting this research? Ask Jeeves? 

 

like seriously stop trying to cover up your bigotry but claiming "research" - I would like cited notes and quotes please... not just say I've read it. 

Current research does actually show children are better off in Homos-xual houses and it takes a 4 second google search for that.

I'm going to Mars with Cher, all the racism, homophobia and violence and just pure hatred is becoming unbearable.

That psycho Ann Coulter also likes to state supposed research that says kids don't do well when raised by single moms but I don't see anyone taking kids away from single moms unless the child is being clearly neglected.

If true that's horrible, however, I get the feeling that there's some key details being left out here.

This behavior is so disgusting. I am so disheartened that in America, in the year 2015, there is still so much racism and homophobia. It's repulsive.

Someone needs to take this judge away from his position because he's stupid.

All I can say is, its Utah, I'm not really surprised.

The decision has been reversed but there is still a hearing set for Dec. 4th. I'm very happy that they have the support of so many other government organizations and that the ruling was  changed.

"Research shows", sure Jan. I understand that people genuinely think that way, but they are wrong and someone in such a position of authority should know better.

There isn't. The Division of Child and Family Services is supporting them and so is the Republican Governor of Utah. The judge is just misinformed and prejudice.
