Hate Group Sues Over LGBTQ Foster Care Regulations

The Vermont Public reports:

The conservative Christian law firm that helped orchestrate the downfall of Roe v. Wade is suing Vermont — again.

This time, the Alliance Defending Freedom has filed suit on behalf of two southern Vermont couples, who allege that Vermont’s policy requiring foster families adhere to new policies aimed at protecting LGBTQ youth is unconstitutional.

They were made ineligible to continue taking children into their care by recent updates to the Vermont Department for Children and Families’ regulations, which now require foster families to affirm they’ll support LGBTQ youth, including by using a child’s preferred pronoun and allowing them to dress in ways that align with their gender identity.
