Appeals court throws out libel suit in lesbian child custody battle
A libel suit arising out of Friskopp and Silverstein's highly charged parental rights dispute was thrown out by the Fourth District Court of Appeal. The prominent and allegedly often volative San Diego lesbian couple are the authors of "Straight Jobs Gay Lives: Gay and Lesbian Professionals, The Harvard Business School, and the American Workplace." The two have fought for nearly five years over custody of the two children Silverstein had through artificial insemination using sperm from an anonymous donor. Friskopp claimed defamation in a letter Silverstein wrote to the gay and lesbian center and gay press claiming Friskopp was "a convicted perpetrator of domestic violence against me, (and she) has made repeated false accusations of child abuse and neglect against me."
