Promoting same-sex marriage: the consequences

The latest jurisdiction to bow to pressure from the liberal ledia and the mighty gay lobby is the District of Columbia. Its government proposes not exactly to legalize "gay marriage", but to force all outsidse contractors working with the city to "recognize gay couples".

Picture it. "Hi, I'm here to read the water meter. Oh...I see you two have pink shirts and little moustaches and are engaged in a slobbering liplock. I guess you must be a gay couple. I recognize you!"

One of the contractors affected by the city's decree with be Catholic Charities, the social services arm of the Roman Catholic Archdiocese of Washington. The archdiocese's website announced on Tuesday that its 80-year-old foster care programme ended February 1st, the day the city's latest contract expired.

"We regret that our efforts to avoid this outcome were not successful," Catholic Charities Chief Executive Officer Ed Orzechowski said in a statement quoted in the Washington Times. "Foster care has been an important ministry for us for many decades. We worked very hard to be able to continue to provide these services in the District."

The decision also puts an end to the involvement of the archdiocese in adoption services. So thousands of disadvantaged and orphan children in America's capital will lose an important source of help and support, all for the sake of political correctness and pandering to those who are actively promoting homosexuality.
