I have had this feeling for awhile.

I think if DOMA is struck down, then all states will be force to recognize gay marriages that from other states that have legalized them.

Sea I saw the problem of divorce on Fox TV.

Wierd and convoluted problem in Hawaii.    Man and woman married there. 

Wife leaves husband and decides she is a man.  Wife has partial trans operation and moves on.

To make this even odder, the wife now a man becomes pregnant a few times and decides they want to marry another woman.

To do this they have to get a divorce from the man they origionally married.  This is done and she heads out with His now bride to be married in a state that allows it.

" He" and wife move back to Hawaii to raise  her/his kids now find both want a divorce.  Problem--
Hawaii does not reconise same sex marriage, so how to get a divorce from someone that their marriage is not valid in that state ???

If it were not for the children involved I could get into some very dark humor.
