We can’t have it both ways people. I just married my partner of 24 years. If you are in a relationship with someone then decide that it is not working, you can’t just pretend that it didn’t happen. If we want equal rights then we must realize those rights work for all the same reasons that a straight mariage does. BOTH parents should have equal rights. THINK about what is right for the children.

I applaud the court for looking out for the best interests of the child.

Now on a larger point, this topic of “lesbians” getting married seems to be one that someone should look into. There seem to be a large portion of “so called” lesbians moving from gay relationships into marrying men? I think that there would be some interesting statistics behind this.

In turn, it seems to be just the opposite for men. I know many men that were married to women at one time and then came out as gay.

I think that a lot of this has to do with societal expectations and constraints. Men are often forced into marrying women at young ages as it’s “what’s expected.” In turn, it seems to be a later expectation that women are expected to be with a man.

Just something to look at.

wow, an ex-gay wonder how long that’s gonna work for her? oh well another hetero divorce. She picked this woman to help her raise the children and it isnt all about her anymore just because it cuts into her precious new life doesnt mean someone that supported the children both mentally and financially at one time and she professed to love shouldnt be allowed to continue raising THEIR children

Commenting on the case in Montana. I find it really disturbing that this “non_lesbian” who I am sure would have fought tooth and nail for her right to co parent with her ex partner at one time is now so far the other direction as to hire an anti gay group lawyer to defend her position. Shame on her and her prejudice.

I love that ADF argument! “She’s the “ex boyfriend”" oh really, why? Why is she the “ex-boyfriend” of the case? OH RIGHT, THEY WEREN’T MARRIED! They had a kid together, “parent” is different than “boyfriend/girlfriend” So the ADF’s argument is worthless, BEATEN BY A 19-20 YEAR OLD…are they REALLY that fcking stupid?

I love that judge but OMFG what does the plantiff mean she is no longer gay? It’s not a frickin light switch sweetheart.
