"a practicing homosexual"

Judge Mitchell Nance, a family court judge in Kentucky, has announced that he will no longer hear adoption cases that involve same-sex parents because he may be biased from his personal objection to gay parenting. 

He said he has a “conscientious objection to the concept of adoption of a child by a practicing homosexual.” 

“It’s preemptive in nature,” Nance told the paper of the order. “I wanted to preempt there from being any uncertainty if the situation arose.”

Another judge in the district, John T. Alexander, said he would hear any of the cases from which Nance recused himself. He has no objection to hearing cases involving gay parents, “so it should not affect the ability of any same-sex couples to adopt in Barren or Metcalfe counties,” Alexander told the Daily Times.

Nance’s action, which is being compared to Kentucky county clerk Kim Davis’s refusal to issue marriage licenses to same-sex couples, received praise from a Kentucky right-wing group, but others said it calls into question his fitness to continue serving as a judge.

“If we are going to let liberal judges write their personal biases and prejudices into law, as we have done on issues of marriage and sexuality, then, in the interest of fairness, we are going to have to allow judges with different views to at least recuse themselves from such cases,” Kentucky Family Foundation spokesman Martin Cothran said in a press release, according to the Daily Times.

Remember that virtually all of the research says same-sex parents raise children who are just as happy and healthy as those raised by different-sex parents. We are not the problem here.
