A federal judge in Washington state has denied the state’s motion to throw out a legal case brought by a Christian married couple seeking to become foster parents. Shane and Jennifer DeGross initiated their lawsuit after state officials turned down their application when they declined to accept new state requirements mandating foster families assist children who wish to transition to living as a different gender.
The couple’s legal representation comes from Alliance Defending Freedom, which argues that Washington state officials are prioritizing political beliefs over what’s best for children in the foster care system.
