Not sure I'd frame this as a gay rights issue. Neither of you is biologically related and both of you cared for the child.
If you are the legal equivalent of a "neighbor" then so is your w, despite the paperwork, or so I'd argue.
In short, what difference would it make if you were a man? NONE...so instead of labelling it a gay issue (which MAY turn off some judges/courts and rightfully scares them b/c most courts do not want to MAKE law as That's the legislature's job)
I'd argue two alternate theories, (which you ARE ALLOWED to do)
and make it about the two "parental figures" in son's life & wrongly favoring one, arbitrarily, AND 2nd,
argue that the only reason you were not in the paperwork is the discriminatory laws that existed, which prevented you from doing so.
But that's not legal advice, just me shooting off my mouth.
Plus I still have not read that case but will now...hope this makes sense.
