Due madri per Zachary

I believed America to be a democratic society fighting for freedom, yet this film which is a true story, fills me with horror, that firstly a mother should have custody of her daughters baby just because she is gay. Also the fact that her mother was given custody of Zachary, even though she had testified in court that she had known her own daughter was being molested from the age of 12, is that moral?. If we are to believe that only heterosexual couples should have a family, then are we going to ignore the abuse that many children suffer at the hands of so called normal parents. Why should gay parents be put under pressure for wanting a family. My heart goes out to this mother who has suffered intolerable abuse not only from her own mother but that of her own countrymen. I only hope this wrong will be put right,it was a heart wrenching film.
