The Washington Post editorializes on the latest bit of anti-gay venom to come out of the Old Dominion, where a state judge has ruled that Virginia's recently passed Marriage Affirmation Act nullifies a Vermont court's recognition of parental rights on the part of a lesbian who is now de-civil unionized from her former (and now ex-gay) partner, the child's biological parent.
Illegalities aside (you can read the Post editorial for the scoop), what a nightmare it must be not only to break up with a former spousal-equivalent with whom you've been co-parenting from the get-go, but then to have her custody jump to the most anti-gay state in the union and bring in lawyers from religious right "family" groups to ensure you can never see the child again.
When love is gone, it's gone.
