Divorce dilemma: Texas says gays can’t get divorce

DALLAS — After the joy of a wedding and the adoption of a baby came arguments that couldn’t be resolved, leading Angelique Naylor to file for divorce.

That left her fighting both the woman she married in Massachusetts and the state of Texas, which says a union granted in a state where same-sex marriage is legal can’t be dissolved with a divorce in a state where it’s not.

A judge in Austin granted the divorce, but Texas Attorney General Greg Abbott is appealing the decision. He also is appealing a divorce granted to a gay couple in Dallas, saying protecting the "traditional definition of marriage" means doing the same for divorce.

A state appeals court is scheduled to hear arguments in the Dallas case on Wednesday.

.....

The drawn-out process has been frustrating for Naylor, who says she didn’t file for divorce as an equal rights statement — she just wants to get on with her life.

"We didn’t ask for a marriage; we simply asked for the courtesy of divorce," said Naylor, 39, of Austin, who married Sabina Daly in Massachusetts in 2004.

Well, freak, you know your "marriage" doesn't exist in Texas so why didn't you get your nasty ass back to Massachusetts and let them clean up their mess? 

If this freak really wanted to "just get on with life", then walk away and stay in Texas or any of the other fifty-two states that understand you are already an unmarried adult.  You are not married AT ALL and DO NOT need a "divorce".  All you need is air between you, and air (for the time being) does not require court action. 

Not trying to make a "statement" my ass!

What's the difference between a gay guy and a freezer?

Freezers don't fart when you pull out the meat.

(Flame away, kids!)

How does that country song go----

We got married in a fever, hotter then a Brussels sprout, I would go to Houston but the courts won't let me out,--- of a marriage,  that should have never been.    I made a mistake, now the government won't help me out.

Lets see if I get this straight, say it is legal to marry your brother in Vermont, you move to Texas and ask for a divorce from a marriage that is illegal in that state. ???

OR/  two same sex people live together long enough to claim the same rights as a heterosexual couple has, that of Common Marriage. 

 If children were not involved in any of this stuff I could give a darn if anyone wants to marry their favorite goldfish.  However, some want to reap the benefits others have but want the ability to ignore any of the responsibility's.   

I am still very confused by this to me sudden shift in society.  I question if we would be as civilized as we have become had we not followed the rules and regulations for the society we were born into. 

What would life be like for anyone of us if we had never had belief in God, no morals to live by,   is this not what separates us from the beasts of the fields.??

Civilizations do not grow and thrive when the society allows its people to run amok and demand to be allowed to act out on their own personal fetishes and desires.

Why should our lives revolve around the other people that have a different need for sex then is accepted as normal and the law of the land.?

This is crazy,   this leads to self gratification and a loss of humanity.



Rant over--for now.
