A married same-sex couple cannot use a marital statute to block a man's paternity petition for the child he fathered with one of the spouses during the women's marriage, a Family Court judge has determined.
Monroe County Family Court Judge Joan Kohout (See Profile) said that while state Domestic Relations Law prohibits discrimination against same-sex married couples, it does not require the court to "ignore the obvious biological differences between husbands and wives."
Neither spouse in a male-male marriage can biologically give birth to a baby, and neither spouse in a female-female marriage can be the biological "father," Kohout wrote in Q.M. v. B.C. and J.S.
Applying that logic about the "essential biology" of the sexes and their roles in the birth process, Kohout said the same-sex couple in the case before her cannot invoke the presumption of legitimacy to stop the biological father identified by the court as "J.C." from seeking a determination that he fathered the baby.

A court invoking biological reality ?
Shocking!
I'm not even going to try to understand that sentence. I just accept that we've gone down the rabbit hole. I'm just trying to remember how Alice got out. Or did she?
Despite a nearly incomprehensible opening sentence, it sounds as if this was one of the few recent court decisions that is halfway sane.
You mean you can’t just wish upon a star and make all your perverse dreams come true? There is an actual reality to the world of biology and gender and reproduction?
No problem. Kennedy will save them.
Biology101 wins
Why any man would agree to father a baby with a lesbian couple is beyond me.
This is going to piss off the Left to no end. In their warped minds, the “supplier” of the sperm for a baby does not have any rights to it. Whether husband, boyfriend, sperm donor.
I love it.....just wish more would do this...seek paternity that is....
she woke up...
He was married to one of them before she left him and got "married" to another women.
Isn't that like Darwinian Evolution?
Call it what they will, biology is the reality and does not change. Reproduction requires a male and a female.
Gays are going to start demanding that they have babies out their rear ends.
He is just going to end up paying child support.
Oh. Right. Thanks for the reminder. I wish it was that easy.
True, but he will be saving his child from an extremely harmful childhood.
I think we have to shake them until they turn into kittens.
