It's a responsibility for the parent ordered to pay child support and a right for the one receiving it. Essentially, gays entering into an agreement to raise a child together have the same rights of enforcement as straights would. Presumably, the ruling would be the same were this an unmarried straight couple. Two sides of the same coin, really.

As a matter of fact, it makes complete and total sense. I honestly can't believe that a court ruling had to be made to make child support happen. If you want children then obviously you're responsible for them for the rest of your life. To argue otherwise is an attempt to pull a fast one on society. It certainly doesn't defy logic.

In the latest ruling to recognize rights of same-sex couples, the California Supreme Court has said gay and lesbian couples who raise children are lawful parents and must provide for their children if they break up.

Doesn't this ruling enforce responsibilities of same sex couples, not rights?
