If they deny the claim then they confirm it is special rights for certain sexual behavior.
If they grant the claim then they risk gutting the whole law.

Exactly. This is why I think conservatives were 'wrong' in one sense on the gay marriage issue. We should have demanded full and equal rights AND full and equal responsibilities. That means gay divorce, gay alimony, gay child support, the whole enchilada.

It was only a matter of time until a straight couple sued for discrimination under these laws, and as a result, the laws are going to get gutted.

I don't know about the alimony, but we're already seeing the divorces and custody fights.

actually these cases are old news.

Generally, the straight people win.
