9th Circuit hears case of Oregon woman denied foster parent license over LGBTQ beliefs

Can the state of Oregon stop someone from becoming a licensed foster parent and/or adopting from the foster care system because of their stated beliefs on LGBTQ issues?

The 9th Circuit Court of appeals is set to answer this question in a case brought by Jessica Bates.

She claims she was denied certification after she vocalized to the training coordinator that her religious beliefs would preclude her from encouraging a child’s gender expression if different from their sex assigned at birth, or taking actions to demonstrate support of non-heterosexual orientations.
