The governor of Kansas has vetoed a bill that would ensure religious liberty for foster families and prospective foster families, as other states have prevented religious Americans from serving as foster parents due to their views on gender and sexuality.

Kansas’ Democratic Gov. Laura Kelly vetoed House Bill 2311, a measure to prohibit requiring prospective foster families to adhere to LGBT ideology.

In her veto message on Monday, Kelly said, “The top priority of the Kansas Department of Children and Families should be adhering to the ‘best interest of the child’ standard. Legislation like this detracts from this standard and stands in the way of best serving those in the child welfare system.”

I am not shocked that Democratic Governor Laura Kelly stands on the side of the LGTBQ agenda against those who believe in religious liberty. It seems like to me that the leaders of the Democratic Party refuse to learn that the majority of people don't support their progressive liberal LGTBQ agenda.

Has she researched how many families she has excluded now? As a former foster parent, I can tell you the system is overflowing with children with no place to sleep besides a social workers office. Is there anything we won't sacrifice to the LGBT gods?
