i mean i've been to san antonio before and its pretty nice and stuff. the people there are mostly friendly and not at all tribal or crazy, but my uncle also lives there and his house doesn't even have a front door. that might be a red flag

I think I'd be more afraid of robbing a house with no front door than a house with a tightly locked front door.

You just know that the type of dude who doesn't have a front door is the type of dude who's just waiting for an excuse to take Texas' gun laws the whole nine yards, literally

honestly i don't know, but i also vividly remember his windows being boarded up with unrefined wood planks.

i dont know what was up with uncle tracy, but there was definitely something up with him. he ordered me food from ihop and didnt even pay for it

but like, why?

[PhantOS]

but like, why?

Private funding is people making a conscious choice to fund what they want with their money, and the institution that receives it can make whatever decision they want with it within limits. Since its private they have the freedom to decide what they do with their adopted children or whatever

a publicly funded adoption center is payed by tax dollars and is intended to be accessible for poor children with no parents. shoehorning bias into a publicly funded setting is always a terrible idea

[Deus Ex]

If they're private institutions it's their right, but it's braindead loving stupid and, in the case of gay parents at least, there can definitely be lawsuits for discrimination. Someone's loveual orientation doesn't determine their ability to raise a child. Their religion, debatable, but we have religious freedom laws for better or worse.
Honestly though, why is anyone surprised, it's loving Texas for forget's sake.

I know all that. Basically what Deus Ex said, why is this provision in terms of the adoption system necessary?? Why did this have to happen, what, do religious groups feel oppressed with how open the adoption system is? I thought these people were for accepting and caring for others, get the forget over yourselves.

I don't know if I should respond confused or with a fedora tip
