Not to generalize too much, but the lesbian separations/divorces I have been involved with (especially the ones with kids involved) are almost always the nastiest, claws out, drawn out affairs. This doesn't surprise me.

I thought the worst lesbian in the world was the woman accusing random disabled guys of rape in a plot win back her ex-lover, but then I read this.

There was a similar case in California where a lesbian tried to get herself out of child support payments by making a similar argument. Luckily, California's courts/laws are liberal enough that she was essentially told to fuck off.

I totally agree with post #2 and was thinking, "what a C U Next Tuesday." Good Gravy.

Yes, well, everyone knows that motherhood is a sacred right and responsibility and that anyone would do whatever a mother is doing that appalls everyone else. Like, for example, when mothers lobby to abolish freedom of speech, or when they flip out about having halal food on the menu at their school or whatever. Any mother would dig your heart out of your chest with their fingers and eat it in front of you if it meant their precious little bundle would be spared from a moment of discomfort. And if you don't understand and appreciate that... well, that's just because you're not a mother.

The observant reader will notice that this same paradigm applies to sociopaths.

The oh so bitter divorce - what is new?

Dave, you are full of crap. I have seen the most foul and bitter and angry and nit picking divorces in the world --- guess what --- all straight people.

Maybe we will have more major court fight to the death exchanges, eventually on a larger scale, but let's fact it - the flip side of ALL legal marriage in an often bitter divorce.

Not ever going to be my problem.

Will let Dan write the book someday.

Shows that people will go to any lengths to piss off their partner when they've split up.
And that's where adoption is meant to protect kids: it gives them the right to both their parents, not just the one whose genes they share.

Contrary to Sara Wheeler's broad-brushed claims, all mothers placed in her shoes would not necessarily do the same thing. Nor should they.

Some of us know this all-too-well from personal, painful experience.

Frankly, I would like to know more about the third-grader Gavin's feelings in this matter, rather than what Sara wishes. Who is looking after the boy's interests?

sheesh, 11 is right: kinda late to provide a "replacement mommy" for a seven-yr-old. so this is not about protecting the kid, quite the contrary; it's about eliminating an unwanted person from sara's life, and a wanted one from her son's. that's where the true hypocrisy lies. what a selfish "c u next tuesday," indeed.

So she wants to be a bitch to her ex and the best way she can figure out how to do it is by hurting the gay community as a whole?

The only way justice will be done is if she never gets laid again.

It's reassuring that Wheeler essentially admits there is no basis in ethics or justice for what she is trying to achieve, she's just trying to use the law to get what she wants.

And if she wins, that would be bad, but it would hardly "set gay rights back a century." Bands of cops won't be gratituously raiding gay bars and beating up their patrons if this woman gets this adoption anulled.

Any gay person who decides to go to court to punish their ex-partner and in the process to set a legal precedent for other gay parents that the non-child bearing gay partner does not have parental rights is a completely selfish fucked up piece of shit.

Yet more evidence that having children turns you into a raving asshole.

Divorce is a selfish act. Sometimes a warranted selfish act, but a selfish act, none the less. So no need to be surprised that she's not worried about who she hurts in the process.

"Today’s Worst Lesbian in the World"
-- wow, I had no idea there was a contest, let alone that prizes were awarded daily.

So she wants to be a bitch to her ex and the best way she can figure out how to do it is by hurting the gay community as a whole?

Well, usually one (or both) of the parents do it through the kids (which may also be happening in this case). The "getting back at the ex" in any way possible is what's going on; innocent bystanders -- be they the children or the gay community -- are just collateral damage. (Not that they can see that: just try to get my divorced mother to admit to it, for example).

Divorce is a selfish act. Sometimes a warranted selfish act, but a selfish act, none the less. So no need to be surprised that she's not worried about who she hurts in the process.

Exactly.

Ann Coulter is the worst lesbian in the world! Gimme a break!

Sara Wheeler gives the idea of a gay family - the love, the support, the normalcy - a big, black eye with this miserly act.

Just more faggots on the fires of ignorances.

I think there is a grain of truth to the idea that lesbian divorces-with-kids are sometimes nastier than the straight ones, but the legally ambiguous situation is the reason they're so awful, not the fact that two women are involved.

One of the many, many reasons that gay marriage needs to be legal is to provide for gay divorce. Divorce is messy, but splitting up two lives where there are all the entanglements of marriage (joint finances, joint ownership of a house, children) but no legal marriage can be even messier.

Evil is as Evil Does @ 21, no, no, no. Ann Coulter isn't the worst lesbian in the world. Ann Coulter is the worst transsexual in the world!

The worst lesbian in the world is Lynne Cheney. She not only slept with Dick, but she spawned Mary... Top that.
