I just watched Michael Knowles’ video about how Christian foster parents in Massachusetts were denied licensing because they wouldn’t sign a so-called LGBTQ+ “pledge” forcing them to call kids by preferred pronouns, dress them according to gender identity, and support it—basically, they took their license for being Christian. And I’m deeply troubled. A state government shouldn’t force belief or speech as a condition to love and care for vulnerable children.

The Marvins and other Christian families argued they’d love and support any child—even one identifying LGBTQ—but felt the required pledge violated their faith. The state said: sign it or lose license.

This punishes the willing, qualified homes for their belief—not for neglect or incapacity. State’s blanket policy ignores child-shortage reality
Massachusetts already has a foster-care crisis with many children waiting for stable homes.
Prioritising ideological conformity over placements further deepens that problem.
When the state requires foster parents to affirm a child’s identity (or lose license), it engages in compelling belief and speech—something previous case law has found problematic.
Parents shouldn’t have to pledge to act or speak contrary to their faith as a condition of serving children.
If the goal is child welfare, the focus should be on matching kids with safe homes. If policy excludes faith-based homes for belief reasons, many children lose out.
Foster-care policy must protect all kids—including LGBTQ children—but not by excluding qualified families for their convictions.
States should create reasonable accommodations: e.g., allow foster parents to express faith while providing safe care for any child, without forcing endorsements of beliefs they disagree with.
We must ensure that children in care get stable homes, and families of faith are not unfairly penalised.
