Texas judge rules against lesbian moms and kids

gaywrites:

District Judge John Roach Jr., of Collin County, Texas, ruled last week that a lesbian mother cannot live with her partner of three years and maintain custody of her children.

The judge invoked a “morality clause” when he said that Page Price and Carolyn Compton are not qualified to live in a house with children together. Per his ruling, anyone not related by “blood or marriage” is forbidden to be in Compton’s home after 9pm when the children are home. Because marriage equality is illegal in Texas, Price is essentially kicked out.

“Our children are all happy and well-adjusted,” Price wrote on a Facebook post announcing the decision. “By his enforcement, being that we cannot marry in this state, I have been ordered to move out of my home.”

Compton’s divorce from her ex-husband was finalized in 2011, though the case was reopened in April following a custody dispute, reports theVoice. 

Price believes the inclusion of the “morality clause” in Compton’s initial divorce paperwork was prompted by the judge’s disapproval of Compton’s “lifestyle.” Price also notes that Compton’s ex-husband rarely sees his two children, and in 2011 was charged with stalking his ex-wife. 

I don’t see much morality in this at all. This couple could very well appeal this decision and win, and I hope they do. 

I asked the Boy Scouts of America repeatedly for an explanation for why it would remove the ban on gay scouts but continue the ban on openly gay adults. But there isn’t one. Like “don’t ask, don’t tell,” the Boy Scouts’ policy is a compromise measure—devoid of all principle—that bows to opinion polls, fears, and the yelps of religious conservatives.

What I Learned From Gay Sex: Misogyny And Homophobia

TW: heterosexism, misogyny, gay slur

by Simon Moritz

Peter is a gay man I slept with once. When he did come home with me and we were naked in my bed, he kissed my neck, and I moaned, high-pitched and breathy. He stopped, looked me in the eye and said, “Don’t do that. It’s faggy.”

The problem is, the homosexual community is very organized. They got a lot of money behind them. In fact, the average homosexual makes more than the average person does. They have better education. And they’re really good at shutting anybody down and embarrassing them so they will shut up.

Spike in anti-gay attacks in France

gaywrites:

As France gears up to embrace marriage equality and perhaps even same-sex adoption, the nation has also seen a rise in anti-gay hate crimes and homophobic speech. 

In its annual report, SOS Homophobie said it recorded 1,977 calls on its helpline in 2012, a 27 percent increase over the previous year.

The group’s head Elisabeth Ronzier said the last few months of 2012 and the start of this year were “intense” with hate speech increasing sharply, especially on the Internet.

She said incidents had doubled in October and November when compared to the previous year and tripled in December.

Yeesh. Wherever there’s progress there will also be people who aren’t ready to face the facts, and so they react in the worst possible ways. Keep yourselves and each other safe.
