I am so tired of the whole “cool pope” thing with Francis. It’s 100% PR.

    I guess not. I’m also guessing it’s a lot easier for same-gendered couples to adopt in your country. It’s not easy at all in the U.S.

      I don’t know, I’ve never tried. The one person I know who did adopted abroad, so I’m gonna guess not super easy?

        Extremely difficult. Courts have essentially ruled that adoption agencies can turn down whoever they want based on their religious views, and not just queer people, this was a case over a Jewish couple trying to adopt from a Christian agency because that was the only one available in their area. And, of course, that’s true in a lot of places. All the adoption agencies are Christian and will only let other Christians adopt.

        Which is pretty fucking ironic considering they kept saying adoption was an alternative to abortion.
