WaPo:

The Supreme Court on Monday overturned an Alabama Supreme Court ruling that said the state should not recognize a lesbian mother’s adoption of three children in neighboring Georgia. The court overturned the decision without scheduling the case for oral arguments and full briefing. It said the Alabama high court’s decision ignored long-standing precedent that state courts must recognize legitimate rulings by courts in other states. The justices already had granted a stay request from one of the mothers, identified in court papers as V.L. The Alabama high court said Georgia courts violated their own state laws in granting the adoptions of the children V.L. shared with her former partner, and thus she did not deserve custody or even visitation with the children.

The justices didn't hear arguments, they didn't want any goddamn briefs, and the court's opinion was unsigned and unanimous. "The case represents a new round of legal challenges in the wake of the court’s decision in June that same-sex couples have a constitutional right to marry," writes the WaPo. If the court's decision in this case is any indication... we're going to win all or most of the coming rounds.

If there isn't a special circle in hell already reserved for queers who adopt with same-sex partners and then rely on bigoted laws and bigoted judges to strip their former partners of their parental rights... we should start an online fundraiser and build one.
