Summary
Bethany Christian Services, one of the nation's largest faith-based adoption and foster care agencies, has decided to begin placing children with same-sex couples: John Stonestreet and Maria Baer wonder why and discuss the implications not only for the children but for Christians organizations that seek to remain true to the biblical understanding of family and human sexuality. As John points out, this issue is certainly not about ensuring that same-sex couples have access to adoption, because there are plenty of organizations only too happy to help.
Also on today's episode: What are deepfakes, and what potential dangers do they hold? Is Dr. Seuss being cancelled? Why we should care about "deadnaming."
