For all those who say that real persecution could never happen in America, take a look oversees. If this does not scare you, it should. It should drive you to your knees. When a court says believing that homosexuality makes one a dangerous parent, imprisonment for such beliefs is not far behind.
Lord, have mercy. Strengthen us for the coming storm. Amen.
Christian foster couple lose ‘homosexuality views’ case
A Christian couple opposed to homosexuality have lost a battle over their right to become foster carers.
Eunice and Owen Johns, 62 and 65, from Derby, said the city council did not want them to look after children because of their traditional views.
They withdrew their application after a social worker expressed concerns when they said they could not tell a child a homosexual lifestyle was acceptable.
But Lord Justice Munby and Mr Justice Beatson ruled that laws protecting people from discrimination because of their sexual orientation “should take precedence” over the right not to be discriminated against on religious grounds.
They said that if children were placed with carers who objected to homosexuality and same-sex relationships, “there may well be a conflict with the local authority’s duty to ‘safeguard and promote the welfare’ of looked-after children”.
