Sunrise Children's Services is working to recover from a massive budget shortfall after Kentucky churches withheld $7 million because the children's home had proposed ending its policy of discrimination against LGBT employees.
.
Bill Smithwick, the then-director of Sunrise Children's Services, proposed last year that the home allow employees who were openly gay and lesbian over fears that government funding would dry up.
.
After churches in Kentucky began withholding their donations, Smithwick was forced to resign, and the children's home did not change its policy.
.
But the damage was done, and Sunrise Children's Services was already facing a $7 million budget shortfall, according to WDRB.
.
The Kentucky Baptist Convention, which approves of the anti-LGBT policy, is now back in the Sunrise's corner. The convention has launched a fundraising drive telling churches that it's once again safe to donate.
