I came across an article some time ago in an on-line newspaper<\/a>, and now I’m really glad I saved it because I noticed they don’t seem to have any archives. the entire article is in the additional entry for those who want to read it. However there is one part of it that really struck a nerve with me and thats what I want to talk about today.
\n“Heterosexual couples are not automatically good parents.”
\nnow please keep in mind this is all about me *s*
\none of the things he (the ex) has stated to me in the past regarding why he thinks he will walk away with my kids is this..and I’m quoting him here..
\n“at least I’m straight”
\nto which my immediate thought was, ‘yea..your point here?’
\nwhich I think was..and mind you this is only my opinion..because he is a straight, white, male, and we have 3 boys, that automatically makes him the better parent..
\nand for no other reason than that..
\nso now..get this..all the years I spent raising them, taking care of them, hell not to mention giving birth to them..don’t count for a thing..
\nbecause I’m “not straight” (his words)
\noh yea..there’s logic there…
\nthat must be why no gay couples are allowed to adopt children..
\noh wait a minute, thats not true…
\nthat must be why in almost every case I’ve found the gay parent loses custody of their kids…
\noh wait, thats not true either…
\nOK folks, help me out here, surely there must be some reason his being ‘straight’ makes him a better parent..right?
\nwould love to hear your thoughts on this one *s*<\/p>\n

\nThe room was hot. I was facing a hostile attorney and her even more hostile client. He was a divorced father who said he wanted custody of his child.
