The largest Catholic adoption agency in England and Wales has opted to allow same-sex couples to adopt.
The decision, made by the Catholic Children’s Society of Arundel and Brighton, Portsmouth and Southwark, is in response to the U.K.'s Equality Act, which requires all goods, facilities and services – including adoption services – to be provided regardless of the sexual orientation of the recipient.
Bruce Hausknecht, judicial analyst for Focus on the Family Action, said this is another example where religious freedom is lost when the homosexual agenda is incorporated into law.
"As we learned in Boston where a Catholic adoption agency had to close its doors after same-sex 'marriage' was judicially ordered there, this is a zero-sum game," he said. "The rights of conscience of people of faith are being trampled in the name of ’tolerance.'"
The "equality law," which goes into effect in January, has already forced the U.K.'s Catholic Children's Rescue Service to close its doors.
