(Dallas, Texas) A Dallas man who married his longtime partner in Massachusetts is asking a Texas court to grant him a divorce. Send / ShareAdd CommentIt is believed to be the first time that a court in Texas has been asked to grant a divorce stemming from a same-sex marriage, although a court earlier refused to dissolve a civil union that had been obtained by another couple in Vermont. In that case, the judge cited the Texas constitution, which bans same-sex marriage. The men were married in 2006 in Cambridge, Mass. and then returned to Dallas. They split up last year and a court filing by one of the men this week cites “discord or conflict of personalities.” The man’s attorney, Peter Schulte, tells the Dallas News that he is uncertain how the court will rule. Attorney General Greg Abbott told The News that he will ” defend Texas law – and the will of the people.” “In the State of Texas, marriage is – and has always been – a union between one man and one woman. To prevent other states from imposing their values on this state, Texas voters overwhelmingly approved a Constitutional amendment specifically defining marriage as a union of one man and one woman,” he said in a written statement. “Because the parties’ Massachusetts-issued arrangement is not a marriage under Texas law, they are asking a Texas court to recognize – and dissolve – something that does not legally exist.” But Schulte said the issue is about divorce, not gay marriage. “That’s not what we’re talking about here. They want to get divorced just like a straight couple,” he said."

"Actually that would be won gay divorce that I’ve herd of, and there are so many more for straight people, like 50% of straight people who are married end up in divorce. "

"Maybe, but then agene maybe not, you can’t say that for certainty but if so then yes the Divorce lawyers will love it, obviously I didn’t need you to tell me I’m the won that post it. "
