Lesbians Lose Custody of Baby... 2015-11-12 22:47:35


...simply because they're lesbians.

I honestly believe that one's sexuality has no effect on one's parenting skills, so I think this is a bogus situation.

Yeah this is pretty lame.

They're both ugly so they don't deserve a kid.

Good. Kids need a male role model in their life. A dad that can be a bro in some situations but a father when it's time to lay down the law.
I don't agree with lesbian parents, at all. The values a lesbian couple have to teach are nothing good and will only screw that kid up. Sorry ladies, but a man is needed for a solid parenting foundation.

It's a foster baby.

Case law and most law is like a weather vane. It shifts based on political climate, the feelings of the mob or general mood of the day

It is just the guardian reporting this. And I mean that pretty literally, because I'm seeing almost no other big money media outlets with their hands in the cookie jar on this one.

I originally saw this story on Yahoo.

CNN and ABC did cover it:

they usually surpass their elders by that point. until then, your claim is a farce and i hope it's another troll from you.

As far as I'm concerned, we all deserve equal respect. Honestly, people think all they have to do is act the opposite of how they would like to act, and this fixes the problem.

No. Because you're once again treating them a certain way all because of the group they fit into. That's not real love or respect for others. That's just being scared of the social stigma of using bigot words. You know that is in your heart. We know it's in your heart. You're not fooling anyone with your reverse racism/ reverse homophobia.

The world's not ready for this enlightenment, there's always going to be discrimination, it all depends on what is trending.

He should also be put to jail for life

The judge should take the Dante's Inferno test. He'd probably end up in The City of Dis!

From the very article:
"Sumner, from the child welfare agency, said she could not speak to specifics of the case but confirmed that the couple’s account of the ruling was accurate — the judge’s decision was based on the couple being lesbians."

The rest of your post is also an exhibition of complete ignorance.

At least the attempt was far less obvious than yours, lol. I think when I wrote that I was half serious and half trolling. Like, I really do think a kid should have a good father figure in their life, but I want equality to work too.
