Spain is one of the most liberal countries in the world. While the Catholic Church controls vast portions of the population, the left-leaning government voted fro same-sex marriage back in 2005. A family court judge's comparison between lesbianism and alcoholism, then, comes as a bit of a shock.

Judge Fernando Ferrin Calamita ruled that a lesbian mother can keep her children only if she finds a male companion. No girls allowed.

It is understood that (a parent’s) drug addiction, child abuse, prostitution, belonging to a satanic sect or heterosexual affair would negatively affect the children and serve as a reason for a change of custody. Well, it’s the same with homosexuality.

Ferrin then went on to blast the socialist government, saying pro-gay laws were a "mistake by the parliament controlled by the ruling party”.

For her part, the lesbian mother's called in the gay forces and they're appealing Ferrin's ridiculous decision.
