A Texas lesbian couple who alleged the federal government allowed a Catholic foster agency to discriminate against them as aspiring foster parents for a refugee immigrant child has rejected the government’s solution of an alternative provider that accepts same-sex couples.

In their lawsuit, Fatma Marouf, a professor at Texas A&M University School of Law in Fort Worth, and her wife, Bryn Esplin, alleged they applied to be foster parents to a refugee immigrant child, but Catholic Charities of Fort Worth turned them away because the lesbian couple did not “mirror the Holy Family.”
