The ruling is stated as such only because it was a gay man and his husband legally married in CT that were asking for visitation rights. Instead of granting even partial visitation rights, they removed the ability of the husband taking care of the kids alone. This ruling is completely over the top (restricting a whole gender from talking to the children) because of the animus toward same-sex parents.
A Houston judge entered an order on June 24 which prohibits a father from leaving his children alone with any man they aren’t related to “by blood or adoption.”
As written, the injunction also prohibits male doctors, teachers and pastors from being alone with the children.
