QUESTION
Can a non parent get rights in a lesbian friendship?
Asked on Mar 21st, 2017 on Child Custody - New York
More details to this question:
A lesbian friend helped inseminate me and I conceived, she's not on the birth certificate nor has she adopted the child. I said I would allow her to see the child here and there but she's been harassing and demanding to see the child when ever she chooses to do so.

Unless your lesbian friend who "helped inseminate you" is a hermaphrodite and actually donated sperm, she has no rights. Have a heart to heart conversation with her and be honest about your feelings. It's wonderful for a child to be surrounded by loving adults, but you are the one in charge, period. If that doesn't work, tell her to back off, and if necessary, go to family court and get a restraining order.
