It had to be a tough case for the judge

Yes, it was probably very difficult to find just the right words to make his social experimentation sound reasonable. That's why he went on for 800 pages about it.It was apparent that Michael was the most stable/nurturing parent, psychologically

Yes, especially after the natural mother became a Christian and realized that, no matter how you slice it, she was living in a lesbian relationship with a freak.

Can't possibly have the children raised around that kind of bigotry, can we? It's just not healthy.

Why is the mother more qualified and less aberrant in her sexual orientation than the father? I don't defend either parent's sexual identity, but becoming Christian doesn't paint everything over with a broad brush, negating those choices or proclivities. The kids welfare, in that they need to be with one or the other parent, is the most important. Those 800 pages from the judge is immaterial to all but the judge, his defenders and detractors. The kids, from my observation of the trial, are with the least toxic parent.
