LINCOLN, NE , August 22, 2012, ( LifeSiteNews.com ) – Charlie Rogers ’ story about crawling at 4 a.m. on a Monday morning – bound, bloodied, and baying – across the street to her neighbor’s house after being brutally attacked by three men seemed too horrific to be true. Yesterday, police in Lincoln, Nebraska , concluded it was just that. The 33-year-old lesbian, a former University of Nebraska women’s basketball star, arrived on the front door of her neighbor Linda Rappl’s house on July 22, with a story out of a horror movie. Three masked men had broken into her home, tied her up with plastic zip ties , carved a cross into her chest and anti-gay slurs into her arms and stomach, spray painted hateful words onto her walls, then tried to set her home on fire. “All I could see was a cut across her forehead and blood running down,” Rappl  said .  Rogers said the men held her down on her bed, cut her from her thighs to shins, then turned her over and sliced her from he...

Lesbian ex-partners can seek child custody from biological mother: Nebraska high court

The ruling, issued on Friday, deflected to a lower court the custody dispute between Teri Latham and Susan Schwerdtfeger of Omaha , the latter of whom underwent in vitro fertilization , leading to the birth of a baby boy in January 2001. The couple, who had been together since 1985, split five years later. Latham is arguing that, because she shared the cost in vitro fertilization and continued to make efforts to visit the boy after the split, she should be granted visitation rights . Schwerdtferger argues that Latham did not pay to help support the child, and that the child no longer wishes to have a relationship with Latham. Last year, a district court for Douglas County allowed telephonic visits by Latham, but after hearing further arguments and interviewing Schwerdtfeger’s ...
