- Description
- The purpose of this comment is to analyze court orders in child custody cases that involve one heterosexual parent and one homosexual parent. The comment sheds new light on the topic of homosexual parenting by addressing the issue from the perspective of the rights of children of lesbian and gay parents. With those rights in mind this comment analyzes the legal reality of eliminating or limiting a gay or lesbian parent's parental rights because of his or her sexuality.
