The High Court has backed a council's decision to bar a Christian couple from fostering children because, in the words of Eunice Johns, she and her husband Owen: "were not willing … to tell a small child that the practice of homosexuality was a good thing."
Christian Legal Centre: "fostering by Christians is now in doubt."
Stonewall: "If you wish to be involved in the delivery of a public service, you should be prepared to provide it fairly to anyone."
Eunice Johns: "All we wanted was to offer a loving home to a child in need. We are prepared to love and accept any child."
Mr and Mrs Johns have fostered 15 children over the last 20 years. There are well over 15,000 children in care at the moment.
