Utah judge retires after criticism in gay foster parent case – LGBTQ Nation

A Utah judge who had ordered a baby girl taken away from her lesbian foster parents and placed with a heterosexual couple has retired.

Court officials announced Monday that juvenile court Judge Scott Johansen retired on Jan. 1.

Johansen faced widespread criticism and calls for his impeachment after he ordered a 9-month-old baby taken from the home of April Hoagland and Beckie Peirce on Nov. 10. He later reversed the ruling and recused himself.
