An appeals court ruled Tuesday that Texas District courts do not have jurisdiction to hear a same-sex divorce case because gay marriage isn't recognized in Texas. (Read the full opinion here.)
In other words, since gay marriage doesn't exist in Texas, Texas can't sign off on a gay divorce. To do so would recognize that two men were married -- which is a ball of wax the state would prefer to not get into again. But what if it's a woman and her same-sex transgender partner? Sorry, moving on.
