Jessica Bates, a widow, God fearing “Christian” and a mother of five s suing the state of Oregon for denying her application to foster and adopt children because she wouldn’t accept any LGBT children into her home.

Bates alleges that the Oregon Department of Human Services (DHS) discriminated against her religion and violated her right to free speech by requiring that foster parents affirm LGBT youth.

Bates lawsuit states that she “alerted the Department that she will gladly love and accept any child for who they are, but she cannot say or do anything against her Christian faith” and that when she “stood her ground,” her application was rejected.

“Jessica felt as though God was speaking to her,” it said. She felt a calling to help kids in need – but only if they weren’t LGBT.

The suit called DHS’s acceptance policy “an ideological litmus test” that only allows people with “correct” views to adopt.

And of course the lawsuit was filed on behalf of Bates by the virulently anti-LGBT organization Alliance Defending Freedom (ADF), a Southern Poverty Law Center designated hate group
