Mississippi Appeals Court agrees lesbian April Davidson can't have her kids

The Mississippi Court of Appeals voted 8-1 to uphold a decision by the Rankin County Chancery Court to transfer custody of two young girls from their lesbian mother to their father. The February 1 decision was premised almost entirely on the "exposure" of the girls to their mother’s "lesbian lifestyle," and the opinion of an "expert witness" that this would have a detrimental effect on the mental health of the girls. Interestingly enough, since testifying in this case the so-called "expert" has had his license revoked by a state regulatory agency.
