“WND – A Free Press for a Free People”
You know about World Net Daily, right? The Internet “news” site that is also known as “WND – World Nuts’ Daily.”
If you’ve never heard of the site, let’s just say that WND is tilted toward the right wing, evangelical, crazy-conservative view of news and world events.
Well, finally WND is catching on to the real lives of lesbian couples. Yes, it’s true. It really is.
A few weeks ago I described my relationship in a post titled “We’re Not Lesbians We’re A Straight Married Couple.” And now, WND has an article on the same subject titled “Lesbian Child Custoday Battles and Heterosexual Divorce,” pointing out that when it comes to breaking up – our relationships look a lot like their relationships. Yes, Virginia, these creatures seem to have the same traits as real humans!
While the WND article tries to make the point, “see – told you it wasn’t the man’s fault when parents act like asses during a divorce;” the article actually makes a much more important point. If us lesbians act like married people and have children just liked married people – it looks like a marriage, walks like a marriage – the law should allow lesbians to get friggin married.
However, the HUGE point is this. What do married people do when they break up? They act like asses. What is one of the worst things that can happen during these situations? The children get used as weapons. How does society keep some order to this mess and how do we protect the children? We have laws and a judicial system to help these families come together and for parents to go their own way. And, we know that even with this judicial system in place for heterosexual families – people still find a way to hurt each other and children.
Now, why on Earth is society (especially the children described in the WND article) in a better place by giving lesbians a who-knows-anything-goes system? In most states, there is no way for a family with lesbian parents to legally connect nor a system for them to divide their belongings and decide on child custody, visitation or child support. I mean – really, couldn’t state laws at least incorporate a cage match into the system to give us some boundaries?
Hello WND – your common sense is showing.
