    This is so many layers of wrong.

    “Wrong sperm delivered to lesbian couple”

    I wondered where that got to.

    That lawsuit is so offensive, it’s breathtaking. She’s afraid that her white neighbors are so racist that they will treat her child badly. She makes the area sound like a KKK and NBPP enclave, which begs the question of why she’d live there to begin with. I guess she’s racist.

    Next, she’ll file a complaint that she’s afraid the Christian baker in town will refuse to make the child a birthday cake.

    I feel sorry for this woman’s kids.
