I asked a question on yahoo about a custody battle. Well, I am open minded like the next person. I don't have anything against gays, I might not agree with the life syle, but, that's their business and I don't hate anyone from being gay. I do believe they can be as good as a parent as a heterosexual. However, they shouldn't use gay rights to gain custody of a child, they should be treated like everyone else. But, in this case, my ex brother in law is sick and twisted, not because he's gay, but, because, he raped and abused his ex wife and he's a child abuser and he made sexual comments about his daughter when she was 3. So, when people read my statement, please read everything and not to only hear the gay part! And, because, he's gay he should still pay child support, so, I am not gay bashing! and, I found out everything before we all knew he was gay. So, should he be aloud to see his daughter?

Re-read your previous question and see it from a Gay or Lesbian's point of view.
Your sister's ex's sexual orientation NEVER needed to be mentioned whatsoever.
Your misunderstandings about gay marriage and the rights of gays/lesbians as INDIVIDUALS should have been stated in a SEPERATE question.
I can't say that I've ever heard of sexual orientation being used as a ploy to retain visitation or parental rights.
No one here can believe or disbelieve you because we didn't hear or read any of the court procedings, but I can assure you one has nothing to do with the other.

then what does being gay have to do with it?
there is a difference between a gay and a pedophile.
a big difference.
no he should not see his daughter,
and that has nothing to do with being gay.
there is a history of violent domestic abuse.
if he is a convicted felon,
and the court rules in his favor for unsupervised visits ,
help the mother and help her flee the country.
surely there is a women's advocacy group to call
in your area , for a sense of direction on this.

yes, he should be allowed to see his daughter. he should also be paying child support. if he is not, i don't believe the reason is that he is gay. you say that you are open-minded...i do not believe this either. if you have proof that he raped and abused his ex-wife or that he is a child abuser or that he made sexual comments about his daughter then you should bring this up in court. if you don't have any proof then stop defaming his character.

hello he's gay but he rapes women????????? i would say i don't know him but i have known many gay men who left their wives and were unjustly accused of abuse to keep them from seeing their children. thats pretty typical in divorces. IF he's actually a child abuser he wouldn't be allowed to see the child unsupervised anyway. methinks you're a little biased, let your sister and her ex deal with this on their own, its between them. i hope for the sake of all involved that you're insulating the child from all this negativity. good or bad he's her dad and she should have a normal relationship with him if possible.

He probably has the right to see his daughter but if he ever laid a hand on her that would be the end. I think, because he hasn't actually done anything to her, that they would stop him from seeing her.
You're right - gay people shouldn't use discrimination to jump the queue to adopt a child - we leave that to the celebrities hehe.
I can see that you are not against gays. I can see that you are against the act he did.

BABBY,
Let me tell you something. If he is sick, then by those words he shouldn't be treated bad. It's a condition that he can't help. He's suffering from it. BUT, due to the nature of his illness, if that is what you say it is, he should ONLY get supervised visits, IF his daughter wants to have those visits. If she does not want those visits, then it's off. If he does not want supervised visits, then it's off.
