Today's New York Times has a story of the continuing saga of a born-again self-proclaimed ex-lesbian who took her child to Central America when a judge threatened to revoke her custody because she refused to allow court-ordered visits from the woman's former legal partner.
The dispute involves a landmark family law case of a former civil union, the baby they had together, their subsequent divorce, and the baby's mother renouncing her lesbianism and taking up w/ radical anti-gay christians.
Indeed, the case of Lisa Miller of Virginia has had national (and now, international) implications. Miller and her former partner, Janet Jenkins of Vermont became noteworthy as they were one of the first gay civil unions in Vermont that filed for divorce and involved both another state recognizing that and the custody issues surrounding it.
