Now, onto the case...
Dumont et al v. Lyon, et al (2:17-cv-13080), Michigan Eastern District Court
When we last discussed, Michigan orphans were allowed to join the suit, (as all children should have separate counsel advising on any legal matter involving the tweaking of family law, particularly marriage and adoption where they share the contracts with adults: see: Infancy Doctrine). Good, finally the courts are recognizing which parties to a shared contract were barred from briefing previous multiple cases in these family law matters...
Now, the orphans who joined the suit and Catholic Charities were allowed to file "additional pages". Seems boring at first glance, but what that means is, they're fine-tuning their arguments. That happened May 1, 2018. I believe its surrounding a motion to dismiss the suit; which actually should happen and here's why...
The lesbians who brought the suit (and dragonlady confirmed here in post #473 of the other thread herein linked above) not to really make Catholic charities adopt out boys to fatherless marriage contracts (for life) they'd be forced to share with adults (illegal per the infancy doctrine). They know that Catholics may do as they please with their orphanages so long as they self-fund. 1st Amendment protections are stiff for religious objections. The lesbians know they have other choices besides Catholic Charities to try to pry away boys (and little girls) to take home to their fatherless-for-life contractual-guarantee.
No...what the lesbians want in Dumont vs Lyon is to strip Catholic Charities of money they vitally need for the massive numbers of orphans they care for in the State of Michigan. You see, the LGBT wants to use the whip of "separation of church and state" TO PUNISH the Catholic Charities which will result (as they well know beforehand) in the direct proximal harm to orphaned children in the State of Michigan.
Here's what dragonlady said in her post 473 here:
Dumont v Lyons 2017 : Will Fathers (or Mothers) Be Judicially-Legislated Into Irrelevance?
The briefs you’re talking about are the briefs of children who have been helped by the Catholic agency that the want to continue to receive funding because of all of their good works on behalf of orphans.
The judge isn’t reviewing briefs on whether or not gays should be allowed to adopt, but rather whether a Catholic agency which refuses to place children with gay couples should continue to receive public funding.
Dragonlady, LGBT apologist and fierce advocate here at USMB and I suspect professionally elsewhere, says in an unapologetic tone "yeah, the LGBT is seeking to take the main lifeblood away that feeds and cares for the bulk of Michigan orphans from people who have traditionally cared for these poor children for millennia now. LGBT wants these vulnerable kids to be corralled in secular non-moral pens for equal and unquestioned distribution based on what the adults want."
I can guarantee you that if you applied to adopt a child anywhere and said "yeah, I'm gonna deprive this kid of clothing or food or shelter for life", you'd be denied. But apparently the cult of LGBT thinks with the shoehorn they got outside of due process (Obergefell 2015) that this means they can waltz into an adoption agency and demand they disgorge children, even when they announce to the adoption agent by their very physical arrangement "we intend to deprive this child of a father for life using binding contractual terms we'll force this kid to share with us."
Sinister enough, right? But actually there's a root in the muck even deeper than that (are you listening NAMBLA?) It's that the cult of LGBT wants ALL vulnerable children now technically available to "marrieds" (though the test of fatherless and motherless contracts still can save the day) to be coughed up on demand just because they have these contracts: all in the name of "equality!". And so, we have arrived at the real reason for the push on gay marriage where civil unions were sufficing just fine for the LGBTs to share bank accounts, hospital visits and the like The one thing they couldn't get with mere civil unions is a guaranteed access to our nation's most vulnerable little kids to bring home behind closed doors...
I always have to bring up gay pride parades at this point because if this is what they flaunt in public as a uniquely cohesive group (have you ever heard of any LGBT person being against these parades in a public way? And if so, what percentage of their cult do you think they represent? Maybe .0000000001%?) then WHAT ARE THEY DOING around kids, especially those not technically related to them by blood, behind closed doors?? The nation's most vulnerable children now stand poised to be legally forced into these homes:
