When are we going to quit shooting ourselves in the foot?

Time and again, people in our community want to have our cake and eat it too. When we are with a partner, some have children together in a relationship they profess to be a "life-long commitment." They work for marriage equality and rights for their partner to adopt, etc. THEN...they break up and the biological mother attempts to deny the partner the opportunity to continue being part of the child's life. Some try to work the system both ways. In mixed gender relationships, this doesn't fly. In order for our community to gain credibility, this has to stop. We can't have it both ways.
