Multiple Offenses Against God and Nature Makes for Bad Law

Working its way through the courts here in California is the case of two separated lesbians who are in a custody battle over children they each have biological links to via artificial insemination.

The case has polarized much of the San Francisco Bay Area's large lesbian community -- many of whom have become parents with their female partners through a variety of methods, including artificial insemination and in vitro fertilization. Mosely has the backing of San Francisco's National Center for Lesbian Rights, which filed an amicus curiae brief with the appeal court in hope of clarifying the law in a field that's getting increasingly complicated as more same-sex couples have children.

"It's right at the heart of everything we hope to establish in the law," says Shannon Minter, NCLR's legal director. "We very much want the courts to find that when a same-sex couple has a child together using assisted reproduction that they are both automatically parents -- without the need for an adoption."

In other words, forget about the welfare of the children, the state needs to start treating disordered sexual proclivities on the same level as sex (i.e., male and female).
