Pennsylvania Court Upholds Lesbian Parent Ruling
http://www.365gay.com/newscon05/09/092705pennCourt.htm

The Superior Court of Pennsylvania Tuesday upheld a lower court ruling that awarded custody of twins to a lesbian mother, ruling that she would provide a better home than her ex-partner, the children's biological parent.

"We believe that the record supports a finding by clear and convincing evidence that the bests interests of the children are served by granting primary physical custody to Jones, for a number of reasons discussed in the trial court's opinion," the three judge panel stated stated in a unanimous opinion.

The lower court ruled that Ellen Boring, the children's biological mother, failed to provide a stable home and awarded full custody to her former domestic partner Patricia Jones.

1. Absolutely great
From a traditionally conservative Commonwealth comes a true, conservative, family values ruling - in the best interests of the children - regardless of sexual orientation.

Hell, Rick Santorum's gonna have to run and find another dead baby to hug when he hears about THIS one ...........

2. Sure to be overturned-the judge took the child's welfare seriously
and ruled accordingly. Surely this will never be allowed to stand.
