San Francisco Court Debates Religions’ Right to Oppose ‘Gay’ Adoption

This story is a little hairy. The Catholic church does not allow gay couples to adopt children through their adoption agency. The city supervisors released a non-binding resolution criticizing the Catholic church and encouraging the local body to break the church's rules. The Catholic church turned around and sued the government for right of the church to not be criticized by the state. They argued that the government was trying to dictate the teachings of the church.

It is an interesting debate. One that I do not think worthy of participating in. I would just take the government's criticism and let it be. But groups like the Catholics standing up for their rights do benefit the rights of all of us. In that I appreciate the effort. However, they just might lose.
