Thank you for your question. Sexual orientation is not a ground on which to deny visitation. The ex wife is violating a court order without any justification. You should file papers to not only enforce your visitation rights, but also use the ex wife's interference as grounds to request a modification of custody.
Indeed, in Bienenfield v. Bennett-White, 91 Md. App. 488 (1992), the custodial parent attempted to prevent visitation because the non-custodial parent attempted to educate the child on religious views with which the custodial parent disagreed. The Court found the custodial parent to be acting in bad-faith without justification, and modified custody in favor of the non-custodial parent. Your argument may be stronger than the non-custodial parent's argument in Bienenfield, since Maryland has recognized same-sex marriage.
