CTODY RIGHTS OF LBIAN AND GAY PARENTS RX: THE IRRELEVANCE OF CONSTUTNAL PRCIPL

Gay parents are not monsters out to hurt children, and they go through the same thgs that straight parents do. Weird siari, pecially the gay uple. The thg that weirds me out the MOST though is that the gay uple on Parental Guidance is also "route" style, and they even look slightly siar.

Most of the other styl on there also have close approximatns to styl on the Parent Tt, but the siary wh the gay upl seems eery and almost offensive.

The number of children fai wh gay, lbian, bisexual, queer or transgenr parents has been risg recent years. Should other gay parents be ncerned?

While we already know that tired, homophobic talkg pot don't hold mer, thanks to a recent study nducted the Netherlands we now have some proof that the oppose is actually te, and that children wh queer parents might actually be a ltle better off bee of . The study was nducted the Netherlands (the first untry to first legalize same-sex marriage, the study not), and acrdg to s abstract, the data was pulled om 2, 971 children wh same-sex parents (2, 786 lbian upl and 185 gay male upl) and over a ln children wh different-sex parents who were followed om birth through their primary and sendary tn.

So wrote two very recent law school graduat, Nan Hunter2 and myself, a 1976 law review article, one of the first ever published on ctody and visatn disput between a gay and a straight parent after the end of a heterosexual marriage. Secretary of the Department of Children & Fay Servic, 4 a se challengg Florida’s ban on lbian and gay adoptn, had been argued the Eleventh Circu before Lawrence was cid. The poetic rhetoric of liberty and eedom Lawrence was a b hard to p down doctrally, but a nversatn I had wh Nan shortly after the lg, we both agreed that whatever meant, surely gay men and lbians uld no longer be nied the abily to adopt a child on the basis of their sexual orientatn alone whout vlatg the Constutn.

5 It also beme one of the first urts to quote Lawrence’s assertn that “[t]he prent se do not volve mors”6 and to skew the meang of that sentence away om the obv—excludg sex wh children om nstutnal protectn—and toward an terpretatn excludg the claims of lbian and gay parents and prospective parents om such protectn. In the past ten years, no lbian, gay, bisexual, or transgenr (LGBT) parent has succsfully voked Lawrence his or her qut to keep ctody of a child or block rtrictns on the exercise of visatn rights.

In both time am, when a child’s heterosexual parent has challenged the exercise of ctody or visatn by a parent who has e out as gay or lbian, the gay or lbian parent’s assertn of a nstutnal right has amounted to nothg.
