A same-sex couple in the Houston, Texas area is reportedly appealing a judge's ruling in regard to a child custody case. According to reports, the judge ruled on a case where a man is currently married to another man but has children with his ex-wife. The man has since tried to get full custody of his children in Texas, but the marriage is not recognized there. As a result, a jury has decided against him, and the judge ruled that the children cannot be left with anyone not related by blood or adoption without his ex-wife's consent.
