Yeah
here's a link from the Advocate.com archives with a short synapses. It was a very public case three years ago in California.
Here's a link to a more detailed story run in the Orange County Times ( it's a link to a yahoo group somewhere because you have to pay to see it on the OC Times site )
I won :high: The sitter was crazy and even her overzealous religious attorney, who felt it was Gods mission to take the child from the homosexual pornographer, couldn't pull enough tricks out of her hat in conservative Orange County to win. It was a difficult year for me. It really tested my resolve and network of friends. The ACLU really helped with the case and once reporters starting showing up for every hearing, particularly the 48 hours crew, the conservative judge stopped doing favors for the religious attorney and started doing everything by the book. Thank God.
After I won I moved out here to Australia to enjoy life for a while and find normality.
I have faith that the law is on our side when it comes to freedom of speech etc. As long as you're not breaking the law, if someone challenges your rights you'll be in for a fight, but the law is on your side.
