he Oklahoma House passed a bill yesterday that would allow adoption and foster care agencies to discriminate against parents whose lives violate the sincerely held religious beliefs of the agency.
The Adoption Protection Act passed the GOP-controlled house in a 60-26 vote. A similar bill has already passed the Oklahoma Senate.
Supporters of the bill stressed that the states foster care system is overloaded.
While most people would think this is an argument in favor of maximizing the number of available parents to take children in, supporters say that religious agencies will take their ball and go home instead of placing kids in decent homes that violate the agencies sincerely held religious beliefs.
Opponents said that the bill would allow discrimination based on anti-LGBTQ hatred.
The bill is discriminatory, harmful to youth and completely unnecessary, said Troy Stevenson, executive director of Freedom Oklahoma.
We will continue to fight against it becoming law, we will fight it in the court of public opinion, and we will fight it in court if necessary.
Oklahoma Governor Mary Fallin (R) is expected to sign the bill, which would make it the only anti-LGBTQ state law passed in 2018.
