Catholic Care, a Leeds based adoption agency, yesterday scored a High Court victory against the law which would have obliged it to consider gay couples for adoption. The granting of this exemption is a perhaps surprising, but nonetheless welcome development and in my mind a clear example of common sense prevailing over political correctness. There have been cases of other Catholic agencies closing as a result of the Equality Act 2006.
Those who pushed for the agency to be obliged to consider gay couples for adoption will doubtless be disappointed. However, if gay couples wish to pursue adoption then there are other non-Catholic agencies which they can use. They must also recognise that at the very heart of Catholic Care lies its Catholic beliefs and therefore, had they been forced to follow the letter of the law they would have gone against their founding principles.

I fully agree with you Edward, common sense has gone out of the window with the Labour party
