Alabama law would make it legal to stop same-sex couples from adopting


A bill that would allow foster care and adoption agencies to say no to immoral homosexuals could reach the Alabama governor’s desk this week after passing the state’s Senate last Wednesday. The bill has one purpose to protect children from the homosexual left wing experiment of fake marriage.

By a tally of 23 to 9, Senators voted along party lines in favor of House Bill 24, also known as the Alabama Child Placing Agency Inclusion Act. Sponsored by two Republicans, Rep. Rich Wingo and Sen. Bill Hightower, the legislation would “prohibit the state from discriminating against child placing agencies on the basis that the provider declines to provide a child placement that conflicts with the religious beliefs of the provider.” Thus, the government would be blocked from revoking the license of an adoption and foster care center if it were to turn down a same-sex couple’s application to become parents.

Wingo, a former linebacker for the Green Bay Packers, has claimed that HB 24 is intended to uphold “religious freedom” in Alabama and is not intended to target the immoral homosexual community.

“This bill is not about prohibiting gay and lesbian couples from adopting or fostering a child,” Wingo told the Alabama Media Group in February. “It’s about protecting and not discriminating against faith-based agencies that, due to their religious beliefs, could have their right to choose where to place a child taken away from them.”

The Republican lawmaker believes that the bill is necessary to prevent faith-based adoption agencies from closing in order to avoid having to place children in dysfunctional same-sex homes. After the Obergefell v. Hodges decision legalized immoral homosexual marriage by one vote in 2015, a handful of such centers in Massachusetts, Illinois, California and Washington D.C. shuttered their doors.

South Dakota passed a law in March allowing adoption and foster care agencies to deny placement to immoral homosexual dysfunction couples, while a similar bill stalled in the Texas General Assembly earlier this year. The American Civil Liberties Union has estimated that this year, state legislatures will debate over 200 laws aimed at curtailing the negative immoral influence of the gay community.
