Is this the pink bowtied sword that sings Broadway songs?

The new bill, like its predecessor, would also prohibit foster parents from discriminating against children under their care on the basis of their sexual orientation or gender identity. This means that foster parents could not teach their foster children that homosexual behavior is wrong, even if their religious beliefs compelled them to do so, without violating the law against discrimination. Where's the ACLU? Where is Americans United for Separation of Church and State? If their goal is to drive Christians out of foster parenting, AB 458 should go a long way toward accomplishing it.


These bills show the double standards of the homosexual lobby and the liberal groups supporting them in a number of ways. In the name of tolerance, they demonstrate intolerance toward Christians and their values. They constitute state endorsement of religious beliefs in violation of the Establishment Clause every bit as much as many activities these groups denounce on those grounds, such as voluntary school prayer. They grossly violate the religious freedom of the parents and foster parents these groups pretend to champion. And AB 458 arguably invades the so-called privacy rights of foster parents to raise foster children as they see fit in their own homes.
This is sort of easy for me to say as an atheist, but I think when church and state clash, state must win. Nobody should be able to claim the right to discriminate based on their beliefs. As far as I'm concerned, people can do whatever they like in the name of religion, short of breaking the law.

I find this extreme interest in dissecting the sexuality of children disturbing. I'd rather see a child discover this for themselves (not, like... see them discover it, but you get my point), and hopefully find acceptance in their surroundings, than having them presented with "Are you A) straight B) gay C) transgender D) crossdresser E) all of the above. Must pick at least one." at an age when they're probably not even thinking about sex yet. Well. Except for kids that exchange blowjobs in kindergarten. Children are being screwed with in the head enough as it is, which I think this case of the boy demanding the right to crossdress is a fair example off.
