Homophobic Florida Attorney General Decides Lesbians Cannot Divorce
Florida’s attorney general is an idiot. Pam Bondi is one of those uber-conservative Jesus Jumpers who hates everything that might, in her world, conflict with the ridiculous “teachings” of a bunch of ancient desert dwellers. In lock step with “Skeletor” the Sunshine State’s Tea Party governor, the blonde bombshell has worked tirelessly to oppose same-sex marriage and isn’t about to sanction same-sex divorce any time soon.
In a ruling this week, Pam Bondi opposed granting a divorce petition because doing so would have required recognizing the same-sex civil union and declaring the state’s marriage laws unconstitutional, reports the Miami Herald. Some background: Heather Brassner and former partner Megan Lade were granted a civil union in Vermont in 2002, but Brassner says Lade disappeared after cheating on her years ago. The Florida resident can’t get a divorce in absentia if the state won’t recognize the union, and Vermont can’t dissolve the union without an affidavit from Lade, whom a private investigator couldn’t track down.
Brassner fears that without a divorce, Lade could do things like use her name to obtain property, reports the New Times Broward-Palm Beach. Bondi—who has defended the state’s same-sex marriage ban in several lawsuits—argues that a civil union isn’t “equivalent to marriage for purposes of Florida’s dissolution of marriage laws,” so Brassner’s case isn’t one in which the 2008 ban can be declared unconstitutional. In August, a federal judge struck down the ban, but he issued a stay delaying the effect of his own order.

Interesting and I’m not a bit surprised. Thanks.
Arrgh! That should have been
“I didn’t want YOU to get married to start with,…”
What kind new ca-ca, is this? “I didn’t want to get married to start with, so you’re stuck with it”? So if they won’t play by your rules, you are going to take your ball and go home! Doesn’t she realize that as attorney general she’s supposed to act like she’s older than a toddler? Unfortunately, the rest of the adults in the world don’t live that way! As attorney general, it’s time for her to get with the program!
(Shudder of disgust…)
