A judge in Spain has ordered a lesbian mother to give custody of her two daughters to their father because, apparently, homosexuality is harmful and would increase the chance that the girls would become lesbians. Uh huh.

Judge Fernando Ferrin Calamita, who heard the case at a court in the eastern region of Murcia, also said the woman could keep custody of the children if she found another male partner.

According to Ferrin, being raised by homosexual would not allow the children the right to the proper environment to which they were entitled.

"It is understood that (a parent's) drug addiction, child abuse, prostitution, belonging to a satanic sect or heterosexual affair would negatively affect the children and serve as a reason for a change of custody," he said. "Well, it's the same with homosexuality."

Lesbians and satanic sects. Peas in a pod, clearly.

There must be a way she can fight this ruling. Maybe even through Spanish law; Civil unions between same sex partners are allowed and legal, so this judges' arguments are not according to how Spanish law sees homosexuality. If that doesn't help she can take it to a European court. I can't believe 'Brussels' will allow this to happen. Although one never knows what lawyers will try to dig up to make her look bad after all.

I'm guessing this ruling will be challenged and successfully overturned.

Nobody expects the Spanish Inquisition!

Seriously, is this judge playing with a full deck? As Dee said, surely this ruling will be overturned.

I know that civil partnerships between gay and lesbian people are legally recognised in Spain, but am not sure whether gay and lesbian couples have adoption and/or fostering rights- I fear that may be the issue in this case.....

David, this is not about adoption. The two girls are her own daughters. If it were about adoption she would, unfortunately, not stand a chance. I wouldn't be surprised if they tried to play this card on her though.
