Couple moves to Texas. Couple breaks up and files for divorce... in Texas. Attorney general sues to prevent it. Because allowing them to divorce would require acknowledging the marriage in the first place which would leave an opening to subvert DOMA and have to acknowledge other gay marriages. Result: Texas is suing to *keep a gay couple married*, in order to prevent gay marriage. (Lower) court decision: They have to be allowed to divorce per US Const. due process. (Haven't read the decision so I don't know details of this justification.) Of course it'll get appealed etc. Anyway, regardless of where y'all are on the whole gay marriage thing, I figured you might appreciate the lolz of the irony here. - Sai PS I haven't been able to find the actual decision PDF. Please let me know if you find it. _______________________________________________ Noisebridge-discuss mailing list noisebridge-disc...@lists.noisebridge.net https://www.noisebridge.net/mailman/listinfo/noisebridge-discuss
