If same-sex marriage is illegal in Florida, why did judge in Tampa, Florida hear a divorce case between a gay couple?
The judge found that the couple couldn’t be granted a divorce because the state doesn’t recognize their Massachusetts wedding.Oh yeah, the couple in the case were married in the same-sex marriage Mecca known as Massachusetts.
Florida’s Attorney General Pam Bondi is defending the judge’s decision, which in doing so, forces those divorce-seeking same-sex couple to stay married.
Do you think the 2nd Amendment will be destroyed by the Biden Administration?(2)
Bondi is currently pressing forward to keep the ban on same-sex marriage intact here in Florida.
“If the attorney general’s office is arguing that they do not have the right to divorce, then they have staked out the absurd position that two people of the same sex should remained married under federal law against their will,” said Adam Cord¬over, attorney for Keiba Lynn Shaw, the other half of the Tampa couple seeking to divorce.
Rahall said his office has received calls from numerous other people stuck in same-sex marriages that have gone bad. “It’s miserable for them,” he said.
One man called the law office because his husband cheated on him and then left the state, Rahall said. Because the federal government recognizes the marriage, he has to file his federal income tax return as a married person, but he can’t get a divorce in Florida.“He just wants to get divorced from the guy that cheated on him, and he can’t,” Rahall said.-Tribune
If the couple travelled as far as Massachusetts to get married, why can’t they do the same and get divorced there?
This suggestion makes all the sense in the worl, but I smell a bigger political play here by the Gay Marriage lobby.
