Michigan House Passes Bills To Permit Rejection Of Gay Adoptions By Agencies

Pride Source reports that last week, Michigan's House of Representatives passed two companion bills that would allow faith-based adoption agencies to refuse to place children with same-sex parents if they have "written religious moral convictions or policies" against homosexuality. HB 5908 and HB 5909 also prohibit the state from considering such policies adversely in its dealings with faith-based agencies. The votes on the bills were 69-37.
