Kate Kendell Defends Utah Lesbian

by Jason Clark
31 August 2005

Kate Kendell, executive director of the National Center for Lesbian Rights and the 2004 Affirmation Conference keynote speaker, pleaded in Utah an important case that might help define visitation rights for lesbian couples who raise children together and later break up.
Defending Keri Lynn Jones’s rights to visit the daughter she helped raise with ex-partner Cheryl Pike Barlow, Kendell said that the core legal principle in the case is the about the right of a co-parent, just as it would be with a live-in boyfriend who had invested time, money, and resources to raise a non-biological child.
"This was a family that was intentionally created to be a two-parent family," said Kendell. "While this happens to involve a same-sex couple, how one feels about same-sex parents is irrelevant. If this had been a heterosexual relationship, the same claim would be pressed… The court has an important function to protect the rights of individuals, even if those right are unpopular."
Jones has been paying $300 per month in child support and half of all medical expenses since December, and a judge had granted Jones visitation rights.
Barlow, who is the biological mother and has custody of the child, says she is now an evangelical Christian who has abandoned her lesbianism. She is now charged with custodial interference, a third-degree felony, because she did not follow the judge’s ruling after moving to Texas last May.
