They're being punished for their behavior because it makes an unfit living situation for certain children.  If you can punish all gay couples with impunity I see no reason Christians can't be dealt with in the same manner if they would be unfit parents for closeted youths.  Personally I find their stance much more morally reprehensible than any gay couple.

Belifies, not behaviour. Didn't I even bold the word last time? Unless you want to punish them for being heterosexual...

Sigh, the difference is that homosexuality doesn't involve anyone that can't legally give consent.  There's a very clear and obvious line there between homosexuality and other what you'd call "deviant sexual behaviours".

And what exactly does legality has to do with strictly medical definition? It's deviant, it's sexual, it's behaviour. You may compare it to zoophilia if you want, it's usually legal in most countries.


Their beliefs are what's dictating their behavior, if they could keep their beliefs from affecting their care for a gay kid they could continue, but they said they couldn't.  Obviously being a gay kid in a situation where you're told who you are is wrong is a poor situtation to be in and that couple is therefore a more poor choice for fostering kids who could be gay than a couple who is accepting.

Actually I checked the medical definition, it's not in there either: http://medical-dictionary.thefreedictionary.com/Deviant+sexual+behavior.  And even if it was deviant sexual behavior of those that don't affect adoption chances in the slightest.  That cute elderly black couple that can't foster kids anymore could be heavily into S&M, which is certainly deviant but would never come into play, but for some reason homosexuality does.  

Sad part is that homosexuals are always going to have to go through these loops and red tape while any jackass who's heterosexual just has to forget how condoms work and they can have a kid regardless of the horrible situation the poor baby's being born into.
