'Two female partners want to oust the father and, since the law does not allow them to do so, they claim it is discriminatory'

If you had to pick one, which would you choose:  To discriminate, or to discriminate against discrimination?

Do we forget who is doing the discriminating when it comes to homosexuality and same-sex marriage?

LifeSiteNews reports:

Europe’s highest court on human rights will decide if a lesbian can adopt her partner’s child, in this case stripping the father of his parental rights to his son. 

The case is very simple according to Gregor Puppinck of the European Centre for Law and Justice (ECLJ). “The two female partners want to oust the father and, since the law does not allow them to do so, they claim it is discriminatory,” Gregor reported in Turtle Bay and Beyond, C-FAM’s blog. 

The Grand Chamber of the European Court of Human Rights will hear the case X and others v. Austria on October 3.  Its decision will apply to all 47 countries in the Council of Europe and cannot be appealed. 

Austria’s attorney has pointed out that most European countries do not allow a child to have two mothers or two fathers. A homosexual rights attorney who brought the case argued that this is sexual discrimination. 

The child was born out of wedlock in 1995. He bears his father’s name. While the mother has sole custody, the father has regular contact with his son and pays alimony. 

They argue the father “failed to give a valid reason” for refusing to give up his parental rights so that the lesbian partner can replace him.
