UK: Foster Child Taken Away, Christian Couple Refused to Teach him About Homosexuality….
Sign of the apocalypse?….
They are devoted foster parents with an unblemished record of caring for almost 30 vulnerable children.
But Vincent and Pauline Matherick will this week have their latest foster son taken away because they have refused to sign new sexual equality regulations.
The devastated couple, who have three grown up children of their own, became foster parents in 2001 and have since cared for 28 children at their home in Chard, Somerset.
Earlier this year, Somerset County Council’s social services department asked them to sign a contract to implement Labour’s new Sexual Orientation Regulations, part of the Equality Act 2006, which make discrimination on the grounds of sexuality illegal.
Officials told the couple that under the regulations they would be required to discuss same-sex relationships with children as young as 11 and tell them that gay partnerships were just as acceptable as heterosexual marriages.
They could also be required to take teenagers to gay association meetings.
Mr Matherick, a 65-year-old retired travel agent and a primary school governor, said: “I simply could not agree to do it because it is against my central beliefs.
“We have never discriminated against anybody but I cannot preach the benefits of homosexuality when I believe it is against the word of God.â€â€¦
Religious campaigners say the couple are the latest victims of an equality drive which puts gay rights above religious beliefs.

Discrimination on the grounds of sexuality illegal. So why stop at teaching kids that gay partnerships are just as acceptable as heterosexual ones? I know of some people who love to have sex with their dog. Shouldn’t we be teaching that as well as an alternative sexual lifestyle, or why are we discriminating against these wonderful people who have such close loving relationships with their pets?
