New Column on Ohio SC Custody Decision; Giuliani Tells

F & F ‘Family Courts Need Reform’ http://www.fathersandfamilies.org/enews/cv/enews-20110719.html

Holstein Criticizes New Ohio Supreme Court’s Lesbian Partner/Child Custody Decision in Columbus Dispatch "Fathers and Families has no position on same-sex marriage. But we do have a position on same-sex ‘divorce.’ "Once a child has bonded with two adults as her parents, she is deeply and often permanently hurt by the sudden, court-ordered absence of one of her parents, regardless of the parents’ sexual orientation…”

We need to bring balance to a system rife with gender bias and which devalues the importance of the father-child bond.
