I find this entertaining and interesting.. lol
quote:
A Tennessee judge last week refused to grant a couple divorce, citing the U.S. Supreme Court's ruling allowing gay marriage
quote:
The gay marriage ruling meant the court found the state is "incompetent to define and address such keystone/central institutions such as marriage, and, thereby, at minimum, contested divorces," Hamilton County Chancellor Jeffrey Atherton wrote.
Now, Atherton contends, it is up to the U.S. Supreme Court to clarify "when a marriage is no longer a marriage."

I love it. I feel sorry for the couple that he chose to make an example of though.

I wonder how many other judges follows suit.

Man this Supreme Court decision is going to cause a ton of ridiculous shite to happen. Mississippi at one point was talking about not even recognizing marriage at all just as a way to get out of having to give licences to gay couples.

It is truly hilarious the way the anti-gays are just totally losing their shite over this, and not just the normal wackos either. County clerks, judges, governors, even a state supreme court chief justice. They are all just going batshit insane. I think we can now dispense with the ridiculous line of bullshite that they weren't homophobes but just had a legitimate difference of opinion. The USSC has made many controversial decisions and many unpopular ones, but usually the losing side accepts that the court has ruled and the debate is over. Only when it's an issue so dearly important to them that literally nothing else matters (i.e. punishing women for getting pregnant, hating on gays, etc.) do they throw this kind of tantrum.
It is a sight to behold.
