The Guardian (British) website reports today (August 19, 2010) that a Catholic adoption agency in England has lost its attempt to restrict its service to heterosexual couples, after the Charity Commission found there was no justification for barring gay and lesbian parents.
Leeds-based Catholic Care sought exclusion from the 2007 sexual orientation regulations and began legal action to change its constitution, so it could continue to help married couples only.
Catholic Care told the high court that it would have to stop finding homes for children, because Catholic donations would cease if it helped gay prospective parents.
But the commission said today it could not accede to the charity's demands.
