Bi Dad Sues Gay Mums

UNITED KINGDOM - A bisexual man who answered an advert to father a lesbian couple’s baby has won a landmark court battle to be one of the official parents, it was revealed yesterday.
The man had sex with one of the women and she had a daughter, now five years old.
But the man, referred to only as Mr B, then demanded the right to parental responsibility for the child on matters such as education and health.
He was refused and went to the High Court’s Family Division which has upheld his entitlement to be an official parent of the child, known as D.
Experts interviewed the youngster who told them she had two mothers — Mummy and Ma — identified as Ms A and Ms C.
In a bizarre twist, the girl’s mother — Ms A — got pregnant a second time, with sperm donated by a homosexual who lives with another gay, and she also has a daughter aged three, known as E.
The lesbian couple now plan to “wed” under the recent change in the law permitting same-sex civil partnerships. The case is expected to set an amazing precedent following the boom in gay weddings.
Mrs Justice Black, one of England’s top judges, ruled that the father was entitled to legal recognition that he had parental responsibility for the five-year-old.
She said that whatever the law may do to change the shape of family life, nothing could beat the fact a child had a natural parent.
The court appointed leading child psychiatrist Dr Claire Sturge to investigate the case.
The judge said: “Dr Sturge did not find D muddled about her family. She told Dr Sturge that she is lucky because she has two mummies. She knows that she grew in her mother’s tummy and she knows that Mr B is ‘Daddy’ and calls him that.
“She knows Mr B loves her, as everyone acknowledges he does.
“She has no idea at the moment about how babies begin to grow and therefore she does not know that, in the biological sense, Mr B is her father.”
The two women and the two girls live together as a family. They had been in London but moved away. The lesbians wanted to regard Mr B, a bisexual married to another bisexual, as little more than a sperm donor.
Ms A and Ms C believed he should have only relatively infrequent visits and show benign and loving interest. The judge ruled he was entitled to the same parental rights as any man who fathers a child through sexual intercourse.
The two lesbians have agreed to increase his contact with D from once a month to every other Saturday, plus extra holidays.
Legal proceedings in relation to parental responsibility for the second child are pending.
