Don't hate gays? Sorry, you can't foster kids.

I haven't much experience parentingm having only raised the one child, but in all that time the issue of homosexual marriage never came up.

I never talked about it and was never asked.

So, the article begs the question.

What is the proper age to tell a child homosexual marriage is evil?

Further, the article doesn't state who raised the issue of homosexual marriage in the interview ,the prospective foster parents or the agency.

Anyway, I call shenanigans. The whole drama sounds like a set up.

The application forms and interviews for fostering/adoption are very long and detailed (as is the whole process), so it wouldn't surprise me to learn that some questions about that were included.

This is starting to become predictable. Another attack on Christian values in this country which was founded on Christian principles. But please explain to me what exactly is valued or principled about homophobia ? How about treating everyone equally and not discriminating against anyone, especially for something they have zero control over. In a liberal democratic society, this should be a given - it shouldn't have to be referenced.

I think you will find that Britain was founded long before there were any such things as christians, let alone their principles...

True. But try telling that to them.
