Buford parsons, a Virginia judge decided that it was in the "best
interest" of two year old Tyler Doustou to take him away from his mother,
Sharon Bottoms, simply because she's a lesbian.  Tyler has been placed in
the home of Sharon's mother and stepfather who, Sharon reports, sexually
abused her repeatedly as a child.
     
Lesbian rights advocates across the nation are urging an immediate
response to this outrageous decision.  Don't let right-wing hatred of
lesbians run loose!
