Don't Force Lesbian Women to Live Apart!

Carolyn Compton has been in a relationship with her partner, Page Price, for three years. She has custody of her children, but may lose them to her ex-husband even though he is not very involved in their lives much and was even charged with stalking her.

Texas Judge John Roach put a "morality clause" in the divorce papers of Compton. This prohibits her from having anyone she isn't related to at her house when her children are there past 9 PM. Because LGBT couples can't get married in Texas, Compton has to choose between having custody of her children or living with the love of her life. 

Judge Roach gave Price 30 days to move out. Although Compton can appeal, it's to an extremely conservative court. As a Texas citizen, I'm very concerned that these women are being treated like second-class citizens and aren't even allowed their basic freedoms because of who they are! Please tell Roach -- don't force these women to live apart!

Dear Judge John Roach,


Carolyn Compton's ex-husband might get custody of her children even though he isn't involved in their lives and was charged with stalking her. Why? Because Compton is living with her partner of three years, Page Price.


You put a "morality clause" in Compton's divorce papers so she is prohibited to have anyone at her house after 9 PM she isn't related to when her children are there. Because she can't marry Price in Texas, she has to choose between her children and living with the love of her life.


This isn't fair and is wrong -- she wouldn't be treated this way if she was a straight woman. As a Texas citizen, I'm very worried that these women are being treated like second-class citizens. Please don't force them to live apart. 


Thank you for your time.
