I can't say it better than this:

1) The best interests of the child should be the sole factor in deciding whether a child should be placed with a prospective foster care or adoptive parent or parents

2) State-licensed child placing agencies should not be allowed to discriminate against children or prospective parents based on race, national origin, ethnicity, gender, age, religion, political beliefs, sexual orientation, disability and family status

3) The State Board of Social Services should restore to the final rules the protections against such discrimination included in the proposed rules.

This is NOT special treatment for gays/lesbians; it is protecting children from losing out of proper placements due to biases that do not have anything to do with the ability to care for children.
