Gay Sperm Donor Fights Lesbian Mother Over Access to Children
8th November 2010
A homosexual sperm donor who fathered two babies by a lesbian after placing an advert in a magazine is now engaged in a legal dispute over access to the children.
Not your grandfather’s Britain. Not even close.
The woman in her 40s, and her civil partner, took the case to the Court of Appeal to try to overturn an earlier ruling that the children should spend almost half the year living with their father.
But the father, a wealthy man in a long-term relationship, now in his 50s, claims it is his right to see his children and they should divide their time between him and their mother.
June Venters QC, representing the mother and her partner, said the children were “aware of the difficulties between mummy and daddy” and were at risk of being emotionally harmed by the dispute.
Oh, ya think?

Of course it’s all about what’s best for the children – NOW! No thought about what might be best for them before, though.
