You MUST approve.

This week, the BBC reported a highly significant defeat for freedom of religion. A couple, Eunice and Owen Johns, were denied the right to take care of foster children because they were "not willing to tell a small child that the practice of homosexuality was a good thing."

The judge who ruled in their case was quite clear.
But Lord Justice Munby and Mr Justice Beatson ruled that laws protecting people from discrimination because of their sexual orientation "should take precedence" over the right not to be discriminated against on religious grounds.

They said that if children were placed with carers who objected to homosexuality and same-sex relationships, "there may well be a conflict with the local authority's duty to 'safeguard and promote the welfare' of looked-after children".
Notice that the "harm" to homosexuals is that children might not be indoctrinated in their ideology, and "non-discrimination" requires even Christians to approve of their actions. In this case chilren's welfare is subordinated to the political demands of a powerful minority. Once again, children come last.

Driving real Christians out of foster care (as no real Christian can approve of homosexual acts) will be harmful to all the children who need foster care. Christians are more likely than anybody else to take on the responsibility out of love for a stranger than anybody else; and children are especially recommended to us: "See that you despise not one of these little ones: for I say to you, that their angels in heaven always see the face of my Father who is in heaven." (Matthew 18:10) But if children really mattered, there would be no homosexual movement.

Remember that the "Gay Rights" movement is not about tolerance. It is about crushing the freedom to disapprove.
