iWon News - Divorce dilemma: Texas says gays can't get divorce: "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."
Hat tip to Jeff Meyerson.

Have to admire the consistency. Or something.
I assume no heterosexual couples who were married in other states are going to be allowed to divorce in Texas.
Texas accepts heterosexual marriages in other states, the issue is they don't acknowledge Gay marriages in other states that allow them.

Someplace where you can't get divorced.

Man, talk about hell on earth...
LOLOL.
Lewis Grizzard said next time he was just going to find a woman he hated and buy her a house. Larry King should take heed.
We have to preserve the sanctity of marriage by...
...preserving the sanctity of divorce.
/The mind reels.
This could destroy the sanctity of divorce! ;-)
I feel sorry for the couple in question. But, this is pretty funny.
