Christian-Based Adoption Agency Sued by Lezbos

The interesting, and unreported, aspect to this case is that there is a specific provision in the California Family Code that does not prohibit foster/adoption agencies from discriminating against parent applicants on the basis of sexual (dis)orientation. As a matter of fact, there was a bill introduced last year in the California Legislature that would have prohibited this type of discrimination (thankfully, it was an election year and Davis vetoed it). In light of this, the foster/adoption agency being sued here should theoretically win. Again, though, I'm not the judge.
