Gay Dad Wins Court Appeal

Awhile back, I posted a story about the gay Dad who was awarded custody of his son on the condition that his gay partner moved out. Another judge in Virginia had denied him a hearing claiming there was no change in circumstance to warrant revisiting the original custody terms despite the father's claims that his son became emotionally upset and sometimes in tears after his partner moved out.

A Maryland appellate court ruled the father was improperly denied a hearing. While the terms of the custody remain intact until the new court hearing, this ruling is a victory for gay rights.
