Apparently Dickson and Gena did not get along quite early in this drama. From the SL tribune (not repeated here) it appears Gena walked out on Dickson and was extremely hostile... I don't know what happened in that home or in that court room--nor do you--but many hetero couples get divorced and the men don't retain their visitation "RIGHTS" either. Is it possible by politicizing this or other undisclosed information Gena it was very easy for the court to determine the outcome? Think of all the men who want to be dads and are similarly dismissed by the courts before you fall over yourself with sorrow for a person who has no problem airing her side of a story for public opinion... Behavior has consequence s my friends. OK,

Words fail. So, clearly, did the Utah judiciary. I can't even imagine the pain. True. Words fail. So, clearly, did the Utah judiciary. I can’t even imagine the pain.

I sympathize with the mother who has lost access to her child. I also feel badly for the courageous attorney who handled her case. As an attorney, I know how difficult it is to see your client robbed of her rights because of bigotry and a failure to recognize the validity of same-sex relationships.

What will it take - how long will it take? I'm proud of Gena for fighting for her son. One day that will be explained to him. So much for the "family values State" - blech!
