A female couple has taken to social media to complain after their youngest daughter was denied admission to a local daycare program because they are lesbians. Brittney and Stacey Ready of Waco, TX, were married two years ago and they have four kids together. Following the birth of their youngest daughter, they placed her on the wait list for Parkview Christian Academy. She eventually rose to the top of the preschool's wait list and then this happened:
The Readys seem shocked that a Texax-based Christian school program would deny services to the child of a married gay couple, which isn't at all shocking to me.
Several other daycares have offered placement for the Readys' daughter since this story began circulating.
Parkview Christian Academy denied an innocent child today due to the choices of her parents. We had Callie on the waiting list for their daycare. We received a call they had an opening this morning, with excitement we went in this afternoon ready to see the place and get her started. The director was super sweet and welcoming to us and Callie! We go to leave with paperwork in hand only for the administrator to call us into his office to let us know that he heard that Stacey and I our “mates” (first off we aren’t animals) and because of that they cannot welcome her (Callie). That “byLaws are byLaws” and their Christian based faith that they would not be able to accept our child. So does that mean “unwed parents” can not enroll their kids? Does that mean “divorced parents” cannot enroll their children there? Because sin is sin and Jesus sat and welcomed allllll the sinners. We were not trying to plague your daycare sir, WE ARE GAY, our daughter IS NOT! Never in my life have I had this happen and it especially affect our child. Our child born in a catholic hospital, at the hands of a Christian doctor, our innocent child of God. I am glad God was on our side and let the true colors show before my baby was subjected to their “discriminating beliefs” Maybe y’all should post that you don’t accept children of same sex marriage and let your directors know so they as well know to ask the questions up front.
