Catholic Charities of Boston hates gay people so much, it would rather stop adopting out children altogether than comply with a law against discrimination.

42 board members voted unanimously that it was fine, but 4 bishops (and the puppeteer in Rome) obviouly know better than those misguided people. That's an essay in and of itself.

So so sad...I really hoped we'd be more enlightened as a society by now...

On the bright side, this means that the same people who're stoicly opposed to homosexuality will be raising a sparser next generation of people who're stoicly opposed to homosexuality.

Or maybe it has nothing to do with hate. Maybe it has to do with a genuine concern for the well-being of children .. even if you do not agree with what is best for children. Maybe it has to do with ideological integrity, with an unwillingness to compromise conviction in the face of public opinion.

Perhaps it would be better to be happy that we live in a country where there is still some freedom to refuse to participate when the state makes law what one believes is immoral.

The fact that the government is gonna work to make religious organizations exempt from the law is an abomination. I think Catholic Charities should have their non-profit status pulled and be made to pay taxes just like any other money grubbing corporation.

I wonder if they'll refuse adoption to heterosexuals who buy the occasional lottery ticket.
