Perhaps we have arrived at an answer:

Legalize Gay Marriage.

Pass a Constitutional Amendment Banning Divorce.

This wasn’t all a just a big “test case” was it . . . .? From “marriage” to divorce . . . ? . . . To see what the courts had to say. Was it?

I bet they both feel just like they’ve had the rug pulled out from underneath them.

‘Cassandra Ormiston and Margaret Chambers were married in 2004 after same-sex marriage became legal in Massachusetts. Last year, the couple filed for divorce in Rhode Island. ‘

Curious the article doesn’t mention on ‘what ground’ they are asking for a divorce.

Which indicated to me this is political, folks. Designed to further legitimize gay marriage.

Maybe I’m wrong about this, but thats the gut feeling.

Divorce should be defined as being strictly between a man and a woman! Allowing this would cheapen the meaning of divorce!

“You have a valid marriage in the state of Massachusetts,” Louis Pulner, an attorney for Chambers, told the justices. “No one is asking the court to address the question of whether such marriages would be valid in Rhode Island.”

Riiiiiiigt.

Marriage is instituted by God for one man and one woman only. These two individuals aren’t married. You can get a piece of paper from the government stating you are a three headed goat, that doesn’t make it so.

In September 2006, a Massachusetts judge decided same-sex couples from Rhode Island could marry in Massachusetts because nothing in Rhode Island law specifically banned gay marriage.

Massachusetts activists judges, coming to your state next.

If RI doesn’t recognize their marriage in the first place, what are they worried about divorce for?

Now the Tubes will have to re-write the song “What do you want from life” with the line, “...a Massachusetts wedding, a Rhode Island divorce!” near the end.
