US court upholds lesbian child custody case

The American Bar Association Journal is reporting that an appeal court in Virginia is upholding the right of a lesbian co-mother from Vermont to be involved in their daughter’s life when the mother, who is now a devout Christian, is opposed to any involvement.

In Virginia, same sex marriages are considered void, but same sex civil unions are recognised in Vermont, where the two women came from.
