Remember how we were having the debate over whether or not gay couples should be able to legally adopt?
Yeah, well, we've entered into the "Christians are too extreme to care for kids" phase of the slippery slope.
What do I mean? Well, the state of Massachusetts is reportedly denying a conservative Christian couple the ability to become foster parents BECAUSE they hold traditional Christian beliefs.
TimCast reports on the story of Mike and Kitty Burke, who have filed a lawsuit against the state of Massachusetts for their anti-Christian bigotry and discrimination.
Mike Burke is an Iraq war veteran and Kitty is a paraprofessional with experience with working with special needs children. They are devout Catholics and involved in their local parish.
There was a time when they'd be the ideal couple to adopt and foster.
(Translation: Most of human history.)
But it's 2023 and states like Massachusetts live in bizarre world where evil and good are inverted.
During the home interviews, the Burkes noticed that many of the questions they were being asked focused on their Catholic views regarding sexual orientation, marriage, and gender dysphoria. The couple insisted that they would love and accept any child, no matter their sexual orientation or "struggles with gender identity."
"However, because Mike and Kitty said they would continue to hold to their religious beliefs about gender and human sexuality, Massachusetts denied them a license to foster any child because, as the reviewer put it, ‘their faith is not supportive and neither are they,'" Becket Law explained.
According to the lawsuit, the explicit reason they were denied the ability to foster is that they hold to traditional, rational, natural views of humanity and human sexuality.
They're normal people who actually believe in God, nature, reality, goodness, truth, and love!
This disqualifies them from being foster parents in the state of Massachusetts.
Beyond being insane this is, of course, illegal.
"Federal law protects the ability of religious people and organizations to foster children in need without having to forfeit their beliefs. Because Massachusetts was unwilling to uphold law including in its own Foster Parent Bill of Rights — Becket is going to court to enforce them," the law firm said."
If this is true, the state of Massachusetts has to be punished for this attempt at religious and anti-Christian discrimination. There's no excuse for it.
But we can't stop there. The slippery slope can't be reasoned with. If we want loving couples like Mike and Kitty Burke to right the wreck of our culture, we have to use every tool available to roll back the madness of the sexual revolution. All of it.
