Custody ruling in same-sex case hailed as LGBT milestone in China

Woman wins visiting rights to see daughter, but not son, in first recognition that child can have two legal mothers

A woman fighting a landmark LGBT custody battle in China said she “still has faith for the future” after winning the right to make monthly visits to her daughter.

Last month, Didi, who is 42 and lives in Shanghai, travelled to Beijing to visit her seven-year-old daughter, who lives in the capital with Didi’s estranged wife and their other child. It was the first time Didi and her daughter had seen each other in four years.
