Last month a baby in Tennessee made history: Emilia Maria Jesty was the first child born in the state to have a woman listed on the birth certificate as her "father."
The marital status of the baby's parents was the subject of a flurry of court filings up to a few days before her birth. Valeria Tanco and Sophy Jesty were wed in New York, a state that recognizes gay marriage, and moved to Tennessee, which does not.
They are among scores of same-sex couples who, working with advocacy groups, have filed lawsuits to expand gay-marriage rights following a major U.S. Supreme Court decision last June allowing federal tax and other benefits for same-sex married couples.
Depending on the pace of rulings, as early as next year Tanco and Jesty's case or a similar challenge could reach the Supreme Court. Since the court's June decision in U.S. v. Windsor, about 50 such cases have been filed, in nearly all 33 states that prohibit gay marriage.

Insanity. There is no way she is the FATHER
Lala land is EVERYWHERE.
Father? She ain’t even a MOTHER!!!
Scientific consensus and all that rot.
Correct. The so-called "father" has no relationship to the child whatsoever. It is merely a foul pervert engaged in a debased relationship with the child's mother.
Sodom and Gomorrah were destroyed for a reason. Who will protect Tennessee, and by extension the US, from God’s wrath? This country deserves it.
But what's a child's life compared to the need of the turkey baster crowd to force the rest of us to recognize a fake father? < / sarcasm >
Now they get to redefine biological father?
Egad Ping.
Can I “redefine” myself as supreme ruler of North America? I mean, I “feeeeeel” like the supreme ruler of all North America, so other folks should be compelled to acknowledge this feeling, no? Otherwise, people who do not recognize me as the head honcho of North America are just “haters.”
Hey, if they can “define” a living baby as a “fetus” so you can legally murder him, what’s wrong with claiming that someone without the biological ability to father a child is in fact the father?
Makes the same amount of sense the Rat filth have made for the last 40 years.
That beautifully and concisely describes the effect their actions have on normal people.
The state is now beholden to the mentally ill. Someone give James Holmes the Speaker’s gavel.
The shining city on a hill. Perhaps a world first.
You’d do a better job than O.
