Texas judge voids transgender widow's marriage
WHARTON, Texas (AP) -- A Texas judge has signed an order that voids the marriage of a transgender widow whose firefighter husband died battling a blaze.
The order prevents Nikki Araguz from receiving the death benefits of her firefighter husband, Thomas Araguz III, who died last year.
State District Judge Randy Clapp's ruling comes in a lawsuit filed by the firefighter's family. The suit claims his widow should collect nothing because she was born a man and Texas doesn't recognize same-sex marriages.
In his ruling signed last week and made public Tuesday, the Wharton County judge said the marriage was "void as a matter of law."

7. Couple of important details...
Delgado's attorney says that Nikki Araguz did not legally change her gender on her birth certificate until two weeks after her husband's death, meaning that the marriage between two men would be invalid in Texas at the time of the death because the state does not recognize same-sex marriages.
Thomas Araguz's family alleged in a lawsuit that a distraught Thomas had been separated from Araguz after discovering that his wife of two years had been born a man.

If either one of those are true, especially the first I expect they will continue to lose, even on appeal.
I would have killed that faggot.

8. I think this is honestly just a good reminder that people need to have a will
The argument is between his wife at the time of death and the two children he had beforehand.
The will would have been thrown out if the faggot had used deception, which he did, in becoming a beneficiary.
The judges ruling is correct. I don't see a basis for appeal.
You lose again.

...had been separated from Araguz after discovering that his wife of two years had been born a man.
DUmmies lie....they always lie....and when it bites them in the ass, they whine and cry a lot.

One queer and a couple of liberals on the jury and your ass would have been grass....unless someone like me was on the jury too.

To make sure I understand this...
Man marries woman.
Woman was formerly a man, and husband had no idea.
Man separates from 'wife' re: deception
Man dies on the job
Separated 'wife' sues for pension.
You know, if this happened in Massachusetts, the widow(er) would already have won.

Really? Really?, Really?
There was no time in which this guy was doing his thing to his "wife/husband" where he thought "hey, that looks odd."?

Stevenumbers would hit it. Repeatedly.

It was a same-sex marriage and therefore void under Texas law. The courts did their job upholding the law. The end.
