In a landmark ruling for gay, lesbian and bisexual parents, the Colorado Court of Appeals said parenting time in custody cases may not be restricted because of sexual orientation.
My my my.
To be sure, I don't see how the decision could stand when it was based on perfectly legal activity, and no similar restrictions were placed on the mother. It's quite clear that the decision rested on nothing more than the judge's bias.
And despite the ACLU's desires, there's no earthly reason why a state court would have reached federal constitutional issues if there was no need.
I expect the case will be appealed to the Colorado Supreme Court. All things considered, I'd expect them to refuse to hear the case, but you never know.
