If there is no man in the relationship to shaft, how is a divorce possible? It's not hard to figure out who plays the "husband" and "wife" in a homosexual couple, and appoint the shaftor and shaftee accordingly.

They couldn’t have been married all that long.
Crying for a divorce already and they can’t get one?
The whole deal is just plain goofy!

I still don't get why gay couples have to even bother getting a divorce if their marriage is not legal in the state in which they live to begin with. There's nothing stopping them from simply moving on with their lives since there was no legal marriage to begin with One word: Assets. In Texas, we have what we call the $49 dollar divorce. It's not really $49, but rather a slang term for self-filing divorces with disputes over divisions of joint property. Usually there is no joint property. What you're describing above is a $49 divorce without the $49 worth of paperwork.
The problem arises when you have joint property that needs to be divided and both parties want:
The time share in Vail.
Raul the Pomeranian.
The Gucci bag in which Raul is carried.
Cher's greatest hits on vinyl.
Elton the anthology on CD.
Ellen a retrospective on DVD.
Melissa Etheridge live at the Hollywood Bowl on Blue-ray.
Mars pattern china (Homosexuals only).
Venus pattern china (Lesbians only).
Andy Warhol memorial phallic sconces from the metro collection.
The good vibrations cornucopia of semi-marital aids.
And most important of all...the video collection

Its just another back door to the agenda. They know some states will NEVER recognize gay marriage; so instead of attacking it head on, attack it from another angle, gay divorce. If they can get the divorce recognized, then the state MUST recognize that a legal marriage took existed in the first place. Veeerrryy sneeky. Exactly. And if they don't get their way, they can sue.
Absolutely transparent manipulation.

In a related story, the mayor of Hetero lamented that his town never gets to be destroyed by fire and brimstone like Sodom and Gomorrah did.

In other words, the activists are trying to create defacto recognition of gay marriage in states where it’s not recognized by filing for ‘divorce’ there. Slippery move, but, hopefully, they won’t find a lot of courts that’ll fall for it.

Yes, and didn’t a Rhode Island court already say it couldn’t happen?
