Dad’s Gay Friends Won’t Ruin Kid’s Life, Court Ridiculously Forced to Declare

Turns out that being a parent and having gay and lesbian friends isn’t harmful to your children! Glad we needed the Georgia Supreme Court to make that declaration. AJC: “The Georgia Supreme Court on Monday threw out a judge’s order that prohibited children in a divorce case from having any contact with their father’s gay and lesbian friends. The ruling was hailed by gay rights groups who said the decision focuses on the needs of children instead of perpetuating a stigma on the basis of sexual orientation. The state high court’s decision overturned Fayette County Superior Court Judge Christopher Edwards’ blanket prohibition against exposing the children to their father’s gay partners and friends. ‘Such an arbitrary classification based on sexual orientation flies in the face of our public policy that encourages divorced parents to participate in the raising of their children,’ Justice Robert Benham wrote.”
