A federal district court in South Carolina affirmed that the United States Supreme Court's ruling in Fulton v. Philadelphia earlier this year did not grant a blanket license to discriminate against LGBTQs who want to be foster parents.
As the Bay Area Reporter reported in June, the high court unanimously decided that the city of Philadelphia violated the free exercise clause of the First Amendment to the U.S.
Constitution when it refused to contract with the Roman Catholic Archdiocese of Philadelphia's foster care agency due to an ordinance prohibiting foster care agencies from discriminating based on sexual orientation.
