this episode of the young turks is brought to you by thrillers
matches eight couple in the u_k_ who had just lost their rights to be foster parents and
the reason why is because all of their traditional christian views uh... there against homosexuality
is and they both say that date will not tell child that homosexuality is an acceptable
lifestyle
so it's very surprising but of the court's decided now outside we're not gonna lie that's
the foster parents anymore
so we have a video of that right now at their at a press conference
and zag needs jones uh... is actually the one talking she's been explain what happened
and how she feels about
because we have my own opinions based on our fate
and he feels sideline for three hundred inflict normal
mainstream rifkind views infection
at bay
the judges have suggested that um... used
life onto the trend
we have been told by the equality and human rights commission
that's a problem our own
views may in fact
headshots
we do not believe this is though
pre-op and for them
and expect any child
or we would not willing to do with the telephone shot that practice of on this section eight
three
was equity
was old upon how much time as now like to make
the chance of finding essay and payment no
at this time when there are so few people
they tend to foster
we feel excluded
and that there's no place right
in society
we have not received your and won't be believe in an independent and planning if needed to
this
all right so just to give you a little background information on this couple there in their
sixties end up back in the nineteen nineties they actually work foster parents
and they took care of at fifteen children not the same time but you know fifteen children
uh... over time
and
there'd been no you know negative reports about the way they took care of those children
and muck
might might use on you know the gay community have been very clear i'm very supportive of
that time for gay marriage
and for equality
given all that
i think that it does get that's interesting
but i think but let me tell you i would meet let me make my case
it's not like it because i think if you are or if the couple were to tell these kids
you know being gay is wrong out of nowhere any note torture them with these
do lessons about how being gay is wrong than i can understand right
i mean if that's not what this is about they just want to take care of these children
and they happen to be against homosexuality ok direct
hundreds of thousands of parents in the united states were against homosexuality so really
do we take their children away because of their religious views
because they're religious music harm their children that doesn't make sense
they want to provide a loving home a foster home for these kids who don't have a home
to go to i don't think it makes sense to banned them from being foster parents because they're
against homosexuality that doesn't make any sense
alright wilkins illustrate so
there's of course is the difference between taking away someone's kids
and allowing somebody to be a foster parent
so obviously tin whistle instead
kids is standing participant
so did the people said we'll take you're suitable for to be a foster parent and number two i
i i mean there's no evidence that they're going to go on the styrene csk aidid from
the kids oh my god homosexuality is
you know grotesque and all that stuff
at the same time what if the candidate are being foster parents who happens to be homosexual
well that's where the kid if they keep saying if you will see will see able so i'd get like
a little bit it in england uh... at this point in in great britain at this point
are a lot less religious in the united states to it which i think it's overall that they'd
but having said all that and given its context uh... agri with hannah
uh... there of course millions of
parents in america but i'm sure
hundred-thousand on millions of parents in their in britain where uh... they believe
that the their questions they have or they're muslims and they believed homosexuality
business and then that's a big huge their kids
i don't think there should be disqualifying at
i wish you were the case you know why i we can get beyond that but uh... but they say
they can't be good foster parents on that alone
abuse is simply too harsh yeah i agree with you one hundred-percent jake i mean act i
can not disagreeing with their religious views more okay i think that that they're wrong
in their religious views
you know they have the decision and or they have the choice to make when it comes to their
religion when it comes to their belief when it comes to their values
i don't have to agree with them just because i disagree with their values doesn't mean
that they should have the right to become foster parents
but i think that it is extremely important to really uh... investigate the way that date
candies foster kids right
i mean they've had history taking care of foster children
why don't date why doesn't the court investigate that
talk to those kids in c how these uh... how this couple
was in terms of taking care of them i think that that's way more important than you know
thinking out there against gays so
dot their van we've they're not suitable for foster parents i don't think that that's enough
reason
the baton and for being fostered
in little more important thing in this
it was here in the beauty of the religions there is a million pieces this reworked so
i mean are united colette rocks the parents adopt because they but i don't they produce
people are being there
you know that you didn't get into a hundred different reasons why you should lead buddhists
hindus is that our et cetera dot so that's why i think if you have to so much much higher
standard
for saying hey you know your religious values
uh... could pose scenerio rest of the kids for example a place that i would go on is
of those people who think you shouldn't go
to the doctor
i would let them be foster parents deserve the kid get second he needs to go to the doctrine
they wanting the doctor that really needs is a slight but outside of something like
that
i think it's your illuminate everybody if you start getting into their particular beliefs
or religious or otherwise
as to how they're gonna raise the kids and we have a sponsor for list of their very cool
because they don't get with uh... really interesting things going on in your town or any kind you
might be a they don't know about right they also let you know where the best restaurants
bars venues are
