Trump’s plan to let adoption agencies turn away same-sex partners

[Morphine Prince 109,654]

The Trump administration will soon make it easier for adoption agencies to reject same-sex couples, senior administration officials told Axios.

Why it matters: President Trump is steadily rolling back Obama-era nondiscrimination policies across the entire federal government — including health care, housing and the military.

Details: Former President Obama banned adoption and foster-care agencies from receiving federal funding if they refused to work with same-sex couples. Religious organizations have consistently bristled at that policy, arguing that they're being forced to contradict their beliefs.

Administration officials said the White House is weighing two options: either rescinding those rules altogether, or adding an explicit exemption for religious organizations.

The debate is mainly about which approach would hold up better in court, the officials said. A religious exemption seems to have the upper hand for now, but that could change.

Trump alluded to this issue at the National Prayer Breakfast earlier this year, but did not announce a formal policy. 

The process is now far enough along that an announcement could happen by early July, the officials said.

Human rights >>> religious "rights".

If we're going to start putting religious laws into place then we need to start taxing religious institutions, that's all there is to it.

The gays who voted for Trump better turn on their location because I'm ready to fight

Because we aren't lacking the need for children to be adopted, so let's limit who can adopt even more? 

I'm a Christian and this bothers me so much.

Also read that he's trying to strip birthright citizenship away from the adopted children of gay parents by refusing to recognize the marriage at the federal level or something.

We all know who they are and we already know that they have no spine when it comes to Trump’s disastrous policies. They never comment on negative Trump posts but flock to Anti SJW threads like flies on sh!t.

I will never understand why some people are so hardset on their faith as to make it the law.

I've reiterated many times that I'm a Catholic, and that I am a somewhat of a religious person, but when people actively try and use their faith to dictate what other people should/shouldn't be able to do, it's absolutely ridiculous. 

Just because you believe in something DOES NOT mean you have to subject other people into believing it too. What about laws based on Judaism, Islam, Hinduism, etc.? Just because Christians are the majority of people that make up America doesn't mean that they need to rule it all.

Christians are scared of Sharia law being implemented in countries they live in but have no qualms about imposing Christian law on others. One of the many ways they exhibit their hypocrisy.
