More details to this question:
I am a good parent I have a job a car and a good home! My ex husband takes our child on his days off only about 2 days a week! But now he wants to file for sole custody because I didn't enroll my child in preschool and I'm afraid he will throw in me being a lesbian to help him win the custody!! Can he get full custody if I am in a same sex relationship

Sole Custody is not decided based on sexual orientation. It is decided based on the Best Interest of The Child. If the ex husband can convince the court why the child should not be with you than you will lose sole custody. But given the information you provided, it is highly unlikely for that to happen because if you are currently meeting the needs of the child and a fit proper parent you shouldn't need to worry.
