These delusional self destructive pushers of homosexual disorder are quite persistent in thier "look at me" need to destroy society the way they destroy themselves...
Let them eat thier poop BUT not at my table.

Sounds like they’ve achieved their goal- if the court in Texas recognizes gay divorce, then it is not a far stretch to recognize gay marriage. Just more evil lapping at the sands of civilization.....

"
Legal voidance, the court filings argued, is the quickest, cheapest and most reliable way to end the marriage."
Legal voidance? What does this mean? I assume it means that one can not terminate a marriage that does not exist -so in essence, thier is no legal issue? Maybe they did not have the means to actually consumate the marriage?
I myself would have worded it differently e.g. "Legal voidance, the court filings argued, is the quickest, cheapest and most reliable way to avoid adding any additional legitimacy to the non existent marriage."

There was a previous texas case where a “divorce” was specifically precluded.
So much for DOMA.

I’m no attorney, but I’m pretty sure you need a valid marriage before you can get a divorce. And this marriage wasn’t valid.

Agreed. People forget that “sodomy” laws were typically written to cover “unapproved” sexual behavior between husband and wife as well. How such meddling is the private lives of its citizenry is the proper business of the state is a free society is difficult to understand.

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 peoples bedrooms and overturned laws that prohibited certain acts between consenting adults, both heterosexual and homosexual. Lawrence was a setup right from the start intended to force recognition of the sodomite lifestyle, a lifestyle the vast majority of Americans find abominable, down our throats.
It was exactly the same as if someone had proposed that pedophilia is legal if done in the privacy of one's own bedroom

Travis County and Austin in particular is the lesbitarian Capital of Texas, if not the US.
To: John O
Kennedy in his majority opinion stated that Lawrence would only apply to consenting adults. And the decision also protected heterosexual who engage in certain acts in the privacy of their own bedroom.
And could you please tell me where it is in the Constitution that states that the SCOTUS must make decisions based on the feelings of the vast majority of Americans?
