Benedict Arnold, to the extreme

by Matt | April 15th, 2008 |

Just received in the inbox, from our good friends at the Liberty Council (my notes in italics):

Lisa Miller is the fit, biological mother of a daughter, with whom Janet Jenkins [Miller’s former partner] has neither a biological nor an adoptive relationship. In 2000, while living in Virginia, Lisa and Janet entered into a Vermont civil union. Lisa gave birth to her child in Virginia through artificial insemination from an anonymous donor and her daughter was born in Virginia, but the relationship ended when [allegedly] Janet became abusive and Lisa became a Christian [she became “ex-gay” just to keep her child]. Janet wants to have custody of Lisa’s daughter while continuing in her own lesbian lifestyle.

Does anybody else find it even just a bit disconcerting that this Virginian lesbian has not only used anti-gay laws against her own community, but that she now defends herself with anti-gay organizations which first helped to create these anti-gay laws?

Do I sense a Benedict Arnold any where? Lisa Miller’s actions are sickening. I’m sure the folks at Liberty Council are just sitting back and taking it all in. It isn’t enough they have to cause damage to the community, now they get to cause damage within it.

  2. The sad thing is Matt if the situation where reversed Lisa and Liberty would be seeking to permanently remove the child from Janet, claiming that the child should only be raised by a 2 parent heterosexual household. I am almost certain that they would do this to Janet if the roles were reversed. After all it wasn’t too long ago that anti-sodomy laws were used to take biological children away from their gay parents.
