Do you actually suffer the belief that only lesbians make use of sperm banks?

Where did I say that?

The relationship status of the mother has no bearing on the case.

I cam calling into question the obvious hypocrisy of their thinking and the portrayal that the LGBT community makes tolerance one of the primary issues they face.

They aren't tolerant themselves.

Suddenly, the tolerant lesbian woman think the neighborhood they live in isn't tolerant yet they as lesbians haven't had a problem living there.

You don't get it?
Because infertile hetero couples never care about the race of a child conceived with sperm supplied by a sperm bank?

No, I don't get that at all.

So I'll continue to maintain the sexual orientation of the couple involved, despite the efforts of some to say otherwise, has nothing to do with the sperm bank's error.

I agree !!! Clerk made an error, lesbian was at bat, the baby is a home run not second base. The pitcher was relieved.

But to receive an award, one must show damages.
How were the plaintiffs damaged?
For a judge to rule that having a mixed race baby, instead of an all white one, and the plaintiff was damaged, opens a whole can of legal worms.
Different is not defective when it comes to children. but then again, we've been fighting this very same battle since the civil war and the Emancipation Proclamation.

IMO, the only way a judge could award damages is to rule that a mixed race child is less than an all white child and I don't think any judge would rule that way. At least in Ohio.
Her argument revolves more around how racist her town is than how she feels about the kid. It's "they all hate us and I need financial compensation for that". I kinda doubt what she says, but if people can get a fortune for spilling hot coffee on themselves in the US, then, hey, why not because your neighbors shun you because of a mistake the sperm bank made? There's a lawyer the dollar signs in his eyes behind this.

The bottom line is if the woman didn't get what was advertised or paid for, then she has a right to sue.

She has the obligation of due diligence. Her failure on that.
Anyone has a right to sue. And she might even win but it's far from a slam dunk case.

Agreed, but I don't blame her for being upset if she was promised something, paid for it, then received something else. Could be the excitement of being a new mother tempered her anger. Only a mom can answer that after carrying a baby to term. The fact is the company in question failed to keep their end of the deal.
