FULTON et al v. CITY OF PHILADELPHIA et al Featured Case

In March 2018, the Philadelphia Department of Human Services suspended foster care referrals to Catholic Social Services (CSS) because CSS was refusing to place children with LGBTQ families and was allegedly requiring prospective families to provide a “pastoral reference.” CSS and three foster parents who share CSS's religious beliefs filed a lawsuit against the city, alleging that the decision to suspend referrals to CSS violated the agency's (and the parents') First Amendment rights.
