Supreme Court: Gay Sex Not AdulteryDecision Comes In Divorce Appeal
POSTED: 11:55 a.m. EST November 7, 2003
CONCORD, N.H. -- If a married woman has sex with another woman, is that adultery? The New Hampshire Supreme Court says no.
The court was asked to review a divorce case in which a husband accused his wife of adultery after she had a sexual relationship with another woman. Any finding that one spouse is at fault in the break-up of a marriage can change how the court divides the couple's property.
Robin Mayer, of Brownsville, Vt., was named in the divorce proceedings of a Hanover couple. She appealed the case to the Supreme Court, arguing that gay sex doesn't qualify as adultery under the state's divorce law.
In a 3-2 ruling Friday, the court agreed.
The majority determined that the definition of adultery requires sexual intercourse. The judges who disagreed said adultery should be defined more broadly to include other extramarital sexual activity.

Try judicial stupidity ... or maybe judicial perversion.

I totally agree. If the law says intercourse then it should be broadened to include a sexual relationship. Of course Clinton muddied those waters.

Maybe the court just took the standard definition of sexual intercourse, which is "coitus," and that doesn't happen in lesbian sex. PLEASEEEEEEEEEEEee! Thats is the nitwit thinking and the reason we find ourselves in this mess.. Geeze!

Last winter, there was an exodus of gays leaving N. California after selling their homes at a good profit.
We couldn't understand why they would go Vermont, New Hampshire or Maine. None of them would really say why they went back to one of these three states.
Since then with the pro gay laws passed by the legislators, the pro gay decisions by the courts, the Gay Bishop and other sanctioned pro gay behavior, we now understand that this has been in the works for a long time.

The more we march down this path of exposing the legal institution and definition of marriage to such nonsense, the more harm we do to women and children. But then, the feminists can't see that, as they work hard for such redefinitions around legal concepts like rape, marriage, and life. Idiots.

Aha, now you can let the ecusa know that bishop vicki-gene was not living in sin. Unbelievable.
Script & Dr.E, if female/female cannot be adultery because it isn't sexual intercourse, then sexual intercourse must = male/female coitus. Therefore, male to male is also not sexual intercourse seeing that it is lacking exactly one vagina. Two observations: (1) If you cannot commit adultery then you obviously cannot be married; (2) If you cannot be having sexual intercourse, then the best description of this act is as it's always been....sodomy.

Strictly speaking I guess the judges are right.
But what is she was wearing a strap-on...would that count?
This is one weird case
To: carlo3b
So, just because the actual definition of a word isn't what you believe it should be, everybody else is an idiot?
adultery: voluntary sexual intercourse between a married and someone other than his wife or between a married woman and someone other than her husband.

"Define adultery."
Actually, the statutes usually do this quite explicitly, and [GASP] it is possible this court was exactly right.
Here in Georgia, the adultery statute proscribes "sexual intercourse" between persons not married to each other. Nothing else. There are other statutes relating to homosexual acts, but the adultery statute relates only to sexual intercourse. If NH is the same, then the judges were correct. Words do have meaning.

That's the way I read it. It's not a matter of morality, but strict interpretation of what the wording of the law actually says.
I just hope the court doesn't turn around and count the husband getting reamed by the court as adultery. ;-)

Why aren't lesbians decrying this as hate-mongering and oppressive? The court just said that gay women literally can't have "sex" with each other, yet gay men can ("intercourse"). This is clearly a gender bias!
To: carlo3b
Perhaps taking their lead from the Episcopal church. No adultery in gayness therein either.

So according to this court, your wife could be giving Lewinsky's to the cable guy, but she's still not committing adultery because she's not having "intercourse." Wonder if that works both ways. Clintoon must be thrilled.

Our courts find the wildest interpretation of words, and phrases, to fit their agendas, so why can't they ever seem to find commonsense as it applies to restraint of ones actions.. YES, my dear FRiend, Idiots every last person that can't seem to grasp that fact!

Any form of sex with anyone other than your spouse is adultery!Besides,what does a da*n judge know about sex other than how to scr*w the one standing in front of him???
To: carlo3b
Words have meanings, carlo. You need to deal with reality.
adultery: voluntary sexual intercourse between a married man and someone other than his wife or between a married woman and someone other than her husband.
