Catholic adoption agency closes rather than accept gay couples


A Roman Catholic adoption charity is to turn away children in care because it refuses to accept the government's gay rights laws.
Catholic Care will end its 100-year-old adoption service, which places 20 children with new families every year, because it does not want to help same-sex couples adopt.

The Sexual Orientation Regulations, passed earlier this year, protect gay, lesbian and bisexual people from discrimination when accessing goods and services.
