A Catholic couple in Massachusetts is suing the state after being rejected as foster parents because of their beliefs about marriage, sexuality and gender.
SALT LAKE CITY —
The Massachusetts Department of Child and Families does not have enough foster homes or facilities to meet the needs of the children in its care, leaving over 1,500 children without a family, including some who are housed in hospitals. "During the home interviews, the Burkes were troubled that much of the questioning centered around their views on sexuality and their response if a child were, in the future, to struggle with gender dysphoria or to identify as gay or lesbian," according to the 37-page lawsuit. The couple estimates a third of the time in the interviews was spent on those types of questions.
As faithful Catholics, the Burkes believe that children should be loved and supported, and they would never reject a child placed in their home, the lawsuit says. They also believe that children should not undergo procedures that attempt to change their "God-given sex, and they uphold Catholic beliefs about marriage and sexuality."
"The couple expressed that they are not open to gender-affirming care and believe that partnership outside of heterosexual marriage is a sin. They are heavily involved in their Catholic Church and cite their religious views as their primary reason for seeing LGBTQIA++ individuals in this way," the report says.
