Miller v Jenkins

My pleasure at the latest Newsweek cover - the religious case for gay marriage - is offset by the simply horrible companion story about a custody battle between two women - a totally nightmare scenario. The "biological" mother is trying to prevent the other mother from having any contact with their 6 year old daughter - among other things she said, "It would be like giving my child to the milkman." What kind of person is capable of making that kind of statement? Among other object lessons (like, don't marry a crazy person), this is damning evidence of the destructive power of religion.

The Supreme Court refused to hear the case, so the lower court ruling stands - the "biological" mother must allow visitation. One for the good guys!
