US: Opinion: Supreme Court case to determine LGBTQ+ rights in foster care (May require subscription) (Includes video)

US: Opinion: Supreme Court case to determine LGBTQ+ rights in foster care (May require subscription) (Includes video)
Tulsa World – June 11, 2021
This month, the Supreme Court stands poised to rule on Fulton v. City of Philadelphia, a pivotal case involving LGBTQ+ rights. In March 2018, the city of Philadelphia learned that two of its contracted foster care providers would not license same-sex couples and, consequently, stopped referring individuals to these agencies. Catholic Social Services, one of the agencies, sued the city, citing freedom of religion and speech as justification for rejecting qualified couples on the basis of sexual orientation. Fulton v. City of Philadelphia has the potential for a long-reaching impact, but whether this impact will be positive or negative remains to be seen. Federally contracted foster care agencies should not be free to deny services to the same taxpayers who fund these agencies.
