None of the Christian agencies shut down by antireligious intolerance was preventing same-sex couples from adopting through other agencies. They are free to adopt from state agencies or from other private services with principles that are compatible with their own. These agencies simply asked for the freedom to operate in accordance with their beliefs. Shutting them down because of their Christian principles is shamefully intolerant, and given the compelling evidence that children deserve a mother and a father, it’s also bad social policy.
