Homosexual Activists Target UK Faith Schools, Adoption Policies
By Gudrun Schultz

GREAT BRITAIN, June 2, 2006 (LifeSiteNews.com) – Faith-based schools in the UK are facing efforts by a homosexual activist group to ensure the schools’ acceptance of lesbian, gay, bisexual and transgender lifestyles for their students. Schools Out has called on the government to ensure the new Equality Act, which will prohibit any discrimination based on sexual orientation in the provision of goods and services, including education, will be fully enforced in the faith schools.

The organisation is also calling for changes to the education system that would emphasize the “culture and history” of LGBT people in school curricula.

Meanwhile, Catholic adoption agencies in Scotland are reacting to proposed legislation that would allow homosexual couples to jointly adopt children. The agencies are requesting an exemption allowing them to opt out of facilitating homosexual adoptions, should the measure become law. The Catholic Church has specifically condemned placing children in a homosexual environment, saying homosexual adoption must be considered “gravely immoral.” the rest
