A same-sex couple in New York has filed a complaint with the New York State attorney general after an online adoption group based in Arizona refused, based on religious beliefs, to provide services.
ParentProfiles.com, an Internet service that matches adoptive parents with babies, allows only “a qualifying husband and wife couple” to use its services.
Rosario Gennaro and Alexander Gardner are fighting the policy.
"We've already seen a Catholic adoption agency in Massachusetts shut its doors rather than compromise its religious convictions,” said Dawn Vargo, bioethics analyst for Focus on the Family Action.
“Unfortunately, we will see more agencies forced to choose between religious beliefs and the desires of homosexual activists unless we protect the freedom to act according to moral and religious convictions."
