Oh good grief! What will they think of next? Have any other minority groups had a study conducted on this? I’d like to know, actually.

Housing and Urban Development (HUD) is preparing a first-ever study of alleged housing discrimination against homosexuals. Read more…
Here’s something from our friend Brian Brown, Executive Director of NOM–National Organization for Marriage, on the Prop 8 case in CA that Jennifer Morse has been involved in.
Proposition 8 appeal judge Vaughn Walker seems to have had one goal: to generate sympathy for gay marriage supporters.

Every presidential administration in Washington DC does some things that appear stupid in hindsight. It gets caught up in the moment, pandering to this or that political constituency, or reacting too precipitously to some big or newsworthy event. In our 24-hour-news-cycle world, and especially if we’re sophisticated news consumers, we simply discount the importance of poor presidential decisions and move on, even as we might grow incrementally more cynical over time about government in general.

An official with the Illinois Family Institute (IFI) says it’s outrageous that a judge has permitted a mother to take her children from their dad in order to move in with her lesbian partner.

Kelsky has become a lesbian and was granted custody of the couple’s two children, and will also be allowed to move to Eugene, Oregon — 1,800 miles away from her ex-husband — to live with her lesbian partner.

That is what the AP calls it. But actually this dispute between two women will become more and more common, unfortunately.
A Santa Cruz court is slated to hear a custody dispute between former lesbian partners in which the biological mother has become romantically involved with the sperm donor father of her 10-month-old twins. Ah yes, the father: the forgotten figure in the demands that Presumption of Paternity be replaced by Presumption of Parenthood. Read more…
I decided to break this very long post up into three parts. this is part 3 analyzing this interview with Lisa Miller, and the significance of the Miller Jenkins case for whether we really ought to go careening over the cliff and redefine marriage. See Part 1 and Part 2.
3. Of all the appalling things in this appalling case, the malpractice of the therapists is probably the worst. Lisa Miller had a couple of therapists suggest to her that she was a lesbian. When she was hospitalized after her suicide attempt:
So, it was when I was in the psych ward – you get put through evaluations, group therapy, individual therapy and it was through this process of them trying to figure out what was wrong with me that they said, “Well, we don’t really know but we really think that you are probably a lesbian and you are having problems with coming out issues.” Read more…

2. This case is particularly relevant to the question we considered a couple of days ago on this blog: who counts as a lesbian? In this case, Lisa Miller comes across as a confused person, a deeply unhappy person, but not a lesbian. Read more…
