A Lesbian couple adopts a little girl, then breaks up when one partner converts to a version of Christianity that believes homosexuality is wrong. A judge awards custody to the that woman, with visitation rights by the other woman. The custodial mother is given “responsibility for the girl’s religious upbringing.” That’s not unprecedented, but evidently another part of the judge’s order is, i.e., that the custodial and religious-upbringing-responsible woman “make sure that there is nothing in the religious upbringing or teaching that the minor child is exposed to that can be considered homophobic<\/a>.”<\/p>\n

Huh?<\/p>\n

I mean, I would sort of hope she would, but having a court order that mandates it? Whether or not it’s enforceable, it’s just asking for further court appearances. <\/p>\n

And, as much as I may disagree with such teachings as I suspect would fall under the judge’s rubric of “homophobia,” legally restricting what a parent may or may not teach their child on religious matters seems blatantly unconstitutional. Not to mention kind of stupid. And even dangerous.<\/p>\n
