Alabama Supreme Court calls homosexuality evil in custody ruling

Chief Justice Roy Moore wrote that homosexuality is an inherent evil and unfit parenting, citing scripture and prior rulings. The mother, living with her gay partner in California, challenged the 1996 custody arrangement and sought a change in 2000.
