Catholic parishes appeal to Supreme Court in Colorado universal preschool case

Two Catholic preschools that wanted to join Colorado’s state-funded preschool program but not admit children from LGBTQ families have asked the U.S. Supreme Court to hear their case.

Two Denver-area Catholic parishes asked the U.S. Supreme Court on Thursday to reconsider a lower court decision that said parish preschools participating in Colorado’s state-funded preschool program couldn’t deny admission to LGBTQ children or children from LGBTQ families.

The appeal to the Supreme Court comes about six weeks after the 10th Circuit Court of Appeals ruled against the Catholic parishes, which had argued that enrolling children from LGBTQ families would conflict with their religious beliefs.
