Best Answer

Under Constitutional law, that would be discrimination and would be illegal. The reality however, is yes, it could happen as the legal system is not without its prejudices. The harmed party would have the right to appeal any such decision if she could offer proof that her sexual orientation was the reason she was denied custodial rights.
