The state’s Cabinet for Health and Family Services revealed that they have entered a one year contract with Sunrise Children’s Services.
Before reaching the deal, the agency refused to renew its long-standing contract due to the state’s guidelines regarding anti-LGBTQ+discrimination.
According to a report from the Associated Press (AP), after a months-long dispute the Kentucky governor, Andy Beshear, removed the anti-discrimination clause due to a recent US Supreme Court ruling.
Back in June, the court ruled that a Catholic adoption agency was able to renew its contract with the city of Philadelphia even after it violated city law by refusing married LGBTQ+ couples from adopting.
