This same general conversation came up here on HN about a year ago - I recall vividly several posters from other states in the east / south US who made the same observations I did, IE: that their states had similar laws on the books still giving favor to a "traditional" child care giver, IE: a female. We passed laws pertaining to homosexual marriage a while ago here in WA and had "domestic partnership" laws before that. I have asked many lawyers since then how the courts would view a divorce situation between two men or two women as in light of these laws that continue to give favor to a "mom". I've yet to get a straight answer, yet somehow the courts are presumably processing divorces for marriages of all types.
