The G.O.P's war against the LGBTQ community.

https://www.foxnews.com/politics/jim-banks-unveils-bill-protect-adoption-rights-parents-who-want-raise-kids-based-biological-sex

This ******* introducing a bill that would force adoption agencies to place lgbtq kids in homes that admit they intend to raise the children according to their biological sex. This ****ing country sometimes...

Literally legalizing, even dictating child abuse.

Is Lindsey Graham supporting this bill? Just asking....not trying to suggest anything-lol

I don't think it's forcing anyone.

Republicans have a long history of waging war against gay people and trans people, so zero surprise.

I believe it forces adoption agencies to allow adoptions to parents who have stated they intend to abuse the children, right?

The real problem is, I'm willing to bet there's going to be a lot of legal jargon to hide the fact or possibility of the second statement and base their argument on more adoptions = less tax payer money. Furthermore, I don't think it's abusive to raise a child based on how they were born.

LGBTQ kids raised in fundamental Christian backgrounds are absolutely abused. Told everything they are feeling is a sin, and punished for being who they are. The pray the gay away camps come to mind: but it's truly that, every single day of their existence whether they are at the camp or at home. Im imagining a scenario where one of these couples are adopting and the agency is forced to place a gay kid with them, knowing how they will be treated.

Not sure if fundamentalist Christians would want a gay child anyway. As for the child, children can't consent.


Seriously though, fundamentalist Christians raising an LGBTQZ+ child by feeding them self hating dogma is emotional abuse.

On another note, I thought Republicans believed in separation of Church and state?
