No matter what a person's personal beliefs are on the issue of homosexuality and homosexuals adopting children, such beliefs cannot be allowed to reign superior over our constiutionally protected religous liberties. By the department of social services reopening this debate, they are ignoring the will of the people and also the authority of the constiution in protecting religous liberties. Freedom does not come without a price and the freedom to exercise one's religous beliefs means that State cannot dictate to a private religous organizations what its beliefs should and should not be. By preventing Christian adoption organizations from relying upon their religous tenants when placing children in what they deem suitable homes, the State is infact dictating what religous beliefs are acceptable. In effect, the State is actually espousing its own dogma, making it the law of the land, by prohibiting the private religous organization from exercising their own. This is another attempt by a select few governmental figures to tell the populace what they should do, what they should believe in, rather than respecting the people to decide for themselves. If a parent chooses to place their child with a Christian organization to ensure the child goes to a home reflecting their religous beliefs, that decision is also consistant with religous liberty and cannot be circumvented or held to be inferior by the judgment of the department of Social Services.
