The same state court that paved the way for same-sex marriage in the United States is now being asked to decide a complicated case about the parental rights of a once-partnered but unmarried gay couple.

The Supreme Judicial Court of Massachusetts, the state that more than a decade ago became the first to allow same-sex marriage, will hear arguments Tuesday. The case seeks to determine whether Karen Partanen, whose former partner, Julie Gallagher, gave birth to two children through artificial insemination, should have the same parental rights as Gallagher.

I wonder how the courts are going to screw over the kids and the real mother. They are probably going to use this case to pursue their agenda, not what’s best for the children.

Both of the disgusting lezbos are most likely on welfare so neither of them pays child support. They will rely totally on Uncle Sam to pay for the children’s living expenses, including (no doubt) their psychiatric care.

Another permutation of the left, albeit more commonplace. A big assault on the family, per communist dogma.

You’re right: it is a Commie plot.

That tagline sounds familiar.

Then there’s the Commie Plot Theory of Everything: bound to be right at least once in a while.
