"'Homosexuals not welcome' say couple who want to foster
John and Collette Yallop, from Blackburn, insist they're not homophobic
A former vicar and his wife are considering legal action after being barred from fostering children because of their Christian beliefs on homosexuality.
John and Collette Yallop, from Blackburn, told Lancashire County Council they would not want gay couples hoping to adopt, to come to their home.
Rev Yallop, who manages the St Barnabas Church and Community Centre in Johnson Street, Blackburn, said he was not prepared to allow gay couples in his home because of the ‘confusion’ it would cause to his children, aged five and seven.
The Yallops claim they've been refused because of their faith.
They have two children of their own and have been trying to foster since March.
They insist they're not homophobic and say inviting gay couples into their home for the handover process would be detrimental to their family life."
How are they not homophobic????
