Violates the Bill of Rights

[GiveGaysRights2k19 @GaysGive]

States like Oklahoma & Kansas are passing bills that allow adoption agencies to discriminate against gay couples, using reasons like "They weren't Christian" or "A child needs a mother and father".

“...than by the gender or sexual orientation of their parents,”
This shows that gay couples are just as well parents as heterosexual couples.

Along with “A child needs a mother and father” Anti-Gay adoptioners argue that gay couples aren’t capable to adopt children , but that isn’t the case.

“Many studies have demonstrated that children’s well-being is affected more by their relationships with their parents, their parents’ sense of competence and security, and the presence of social and economic support for the family...”

Therefore, agencies that bar gay couples from adopting purely because they’re a gay couple, violate federal law.

Supreme Court Ruling

[GiveGaysRights2k19 @GaysGive]

Obergefell v. Hodges legalized same-sex marriage, leading to the Arkansas Supreme Court ruling making gay adoption legal.

Adding on, by restricting gay couples on the basis that “They aren’t Christian” violates the 1st amendment. The 1st amendment secures the right to not be discriminated based on religion.

By passing a bill that gets rid of an individual right, the Oklahoma & Kansas bills violates the 9th amendment. The 9th amendment preserved the rights of citizens, regardless of the fact of whether it was or wasn’t written in the Bill of Rights.

Not only is gay adoption an individual right, but it would also better the common good as nearly 1/2 a million kids are in foster care. Gay couples adopting would greatly reduce this number.

Adoption agencies, Miracle Hill Minastries and St. Vincent Catholic Charities, have discriminated against LGBTQ+ couples on the basis that “Homosexuality is a sin”

Though Gay Adoption is legal in the U.S, many adoption agencies bar couples from adopting.
