In a highly-anticipated decision issued in mid-June, the Supreme Court of the United States ruled in Fulton v. Philadelphia that the City of Philadelphia violated the constitutional rights of a Catholic-affiliated social service organization when the City stopped working with the agency for foster care and adoption services for children in the government’s care. The decision was very narrow, based solely on the specifics of the Philadelphia’s contracting practice. In short, the City’s system allowed officials broad discretion to grant exemptions from non-discrimination obligations contractors otherwise would have to honor. No exemption was granted to the Catholic-affiliated organization who wanted to take the public funding but not consider LGBTQ+ couples for adoption and foster parenting.
