The homosexual activists are court shopping again just as when they used Lawrence v. Texas (from day one) to change established law.

Judge shopping?
Lawrence v. Texas went all the way to the SCOTUS where it was decided by a 6-3 margin with Justice Kennedy writing the majority opinion.
I don’t call that “judge shopping.”

allow parties to wrap up litigation quickly and get on with their lives... They should get on a plane, fly back to MASS, get their divorce and "get on with their lives" and get out of ours.
How long will it be before another queer couple insists that Texas has recognized queer marriage and HAS to marry them?

Lawrence v. Texas was an attempt to overturn the law from day one.
In this same sex divorce case, you will note that there are several such cases being run through the courts.
It’s not like there is a single case. There is a single case that overturns the law.
There are plenty of attempts until they find victory.

They want the Texas courts to recognize same sex adoption and same sex marriage.

IMO,if this works in Texas it will mean that homosexual "marriage" will be legal in all 57 states within months via the back door.
(Sorry....)

Just Wondering: by granting a divorce (basically, the dissolution of an Agreement/Contract) does this *affirm* the existence of a contract/agreement in the first place (being the Marriage Contract) and would this make for a “back-door” prescedent affirming or establishing the legality of same-sex marriage in the state of Texas?

I am not in favor of gay marriage, but Lawrence was a good decision in that it was a step in keeping the government out of people’s bedrooms and overturned laws that prohibited certain acts between consenting adults, both heterosexual and homosexual.

...I think a similar case has already happened in Conn....the judge there told them to go back to Mass and get their divorce.

Knock off the “consenting adults” and “private” bullsh*t.
Teenagers, minors, EVERYONE can engage in homosexual acts under present law now. Not just adults.
And pushing it in our schools, institution of marriage, employment, etc is not “private”.

What does “consenting adults” have to do with your argument when I pointed out the fallacy of that statement?
Lies by omission are lies too.

Guess the “Naylor-Daily” strategy didn’t work out...
To: a fool in paradise
In his majority opinion, Justice Kennedy specifically stated that Lawrence would protect consensual acts between ADULTS and did not extend those rights to minors.
