Same sex custody battle

@Hot_Rod Said

Given that here it is early evening, no.

@hoppy Said

Now, who the f*** said anything about sperm donors, other than you?

@BozieFozie Said

Hoppy blocked you, HotRod, there's no use commenting. Ooooops, I guess he can see you now!

There ya go. Same sex marriages will just add more headaches.

A custody battle in Florida between two lesbians could fuel the growing national debate over the definition of motherhood.

It also might force state lawmakers to reconsider a 19-year-old law regarding the rights of sperm and egg donors.

The women, now in their 30s and known in court papers only by their initials, were both law enforcement officers in Florida. One partner donated an egg that was fertilized and implanted in the other. That woman gave birth in 2004, nine years into their relationship.




But the Brevard County couple separated two years later, and the birth mother eventually left Florida with the child without telling her former lover. The woman who donated the egg and calls herself the biological mother finally tracked them down in Australia with the help of a private detective.

Their fight over the now 8-year-old girl is before the state Supreme Court, which has not announced whether it will consider the case. A trial judge ruled for the birth mother and said the biological mother has no parental rights under state law, adding he hoped his decision would be overturned.

well its fox news what do you expect? like I have said before they cut and paste what they want out there. they are a fail news station and should be shut down. watch CNN for the real information on everything.

@hoppy Said

What would you say if I showed you the same article from another source? Funny how people accept the same thing from sources other than FOX.

So hoppy, your implication is that the use of a sperm donor is irrelevant because the child will suffer more, and also that you merely mentioned "more", not "worse" because they were lesbian. Then what does their being lesbian have to do with it at all? If nothing, then why is this newsworthy? It happens all the time. If "something" then why didn't you tell us this instead of ranting about how no one read that you only said "more".

The lesbianism that is highlighted in this thread kind of makes it seems as though it is a central relative point, so either show us the effect of being lesbian, or stop pointing out irrelevant details (maybe you want to tell me their hair colors too. It might mean there will be more custody battles if redheads are allowed to marry, being fiery tempered and all.)

And on the contrary to your saying that it will happen more often if lesbians marry and have kids, I disagree. Humans are sexual creatures. They are gonna get sex somewhere. If they truly stopped "choosing" (used lightly as I don't buy that philosophy)to be gay, then they would be straight, would have sex more often with men and would have more babies since it would happen accidentally pretty frequently. These women are the same people regardless of what relationship they are in. They either lack the skills to create a healthy relationship, or they are intolerable, or they are intolerant, or they tend to choose people with intolerable habits. Somehow, someway, there is a pretty good chance they'd have ended up separated anyway, and well then what?

Since they can't work this out civilly, I would tend to believe they lack the conflict resolution skills necessary in any marriage, which means that there would probably be two marriages, two babies, two divorces and two custody battles, just with this couple if they "chose" differently.


I love the arguments against homosexuality. They are like holey buckets. All you have to do is pick a place where the water is pouring out and point.

If you are religious, you'll know what I mean when I say,"wait until the payment comes due". If you are not religious, you'll pay anyway.

@hoppy Said

I didn't say it don't happen in "real" marriages, I said there would be more of them. Geez, don't anyone read?

@boxerdc Said

Marriage equality is not the law in Florida. If it were, and these two women were married, there would be no battle in the courts aside from the normal custody battles..

So.. the reason this is such a huge deal is because same sex couples CAN NOT get married in Florida..

Therefore, your premise is completely wrong, and you're just babbling out your a** again.

@BozieFozie Said

"babbling out your ass" - funny visual of Hoppy!!!

@hoppy Said
