Catholic Charities, which operates one of the largest adoption agencies in Illinois, is threatening to halt services in the state rather than comply with state law requiring the organization to place children with gay couples. The law goes into effect when same-sex civil unions become legal on June 1.
For me its a complicate situation. The Church has its stance and no one should really mess with that, but it they want to continue receiving money for the state, something has to change. I don's see the problem if they decide to break from the state, then they are free to make whatever decision they want regarding the matter.
At the end of the day people are going to have their opinions, but does that really matter when an innocent child isn't given the chance at a healthy home life
While I'm on the subject, Fox New pulled out a report claiming that Glee is turning our children gay. http://www.salon.com/entertainment/tv/feature/2011/05/04/glaad_fox_houston_glee_petition
If you must know, I burst out into laughter when I say that. I just couldn't hold myself together. I'm actually glad, that mainstream is becoming a place where anyone can find a character they can actually identify themselves with. Instead they wish to make statements asking is TV to Gay? What does that even mean. I'm not sure what television broadcasting they have been watching, but all I see are hetero themed shows.
There is always a bigger picture outside of our tiny little boxes that most of us choose to live in. Your tiny little picture can't grasp the importance of such a derogatory statement such as those. Many times some us forget that we were once on the other side of the picture, it was once women, minorities and others on that side. Fair, lets try to be fair, I don't understand how difficult that is. There was a time on television where there was a lack of women characters, black, Hispanic and other different backgrounds. Everyone deserves a place at the table. Just because you can't relate to a certain character doesn't me others don't and can't.
Its already hard enough growing up a teenager and knowing you are different, but have you had to or felt like you had to hide part of your identity.
I challenge everyone to look beyond what you see, and feel what is in a persons heart. Life is already complicated enough, why bother making it harder for someone else.
Love is all you need! Illionios is legalizing civil unions between homosexuals. ( yay) Win! Now here lies the problem, Catholic Charites Illionios is legalizing civil unions between homosexuals. ( yay) Win! Now here lies the problem, Catholic Charites will not be allowing same sex marriages to adopt childre, they do however allow married couples and single parents, who chose to raise the kids in seperate households to marry. I get it, I promise I get it, but I just am not ok with it. Children are the ones that will suffer. I personally would't give a two shits if both of my parents were the same gender. They love each other and they love me, so what seems to be the problem. Instead now, this will limit the amount of children that will go to loving homes.
