A judge in Tennessee has decided that a local couple cannot get divorced. Because gay marriage.
You read that right. According to the Times Free Press:
[Hamilton County Chancellor Jeffrey Atherton] said the Supreme Court must clarify "when a marriage is no longer a marriage." Otherwise, he contended, state courts are impaired from addressing marriage and divorce litigation altogether.
"The conclusion reached by this Court is that Tennesseans have been deemed by the U.S. Supreme Court to be incompetent to define and address such keystone/central institutions such as marriage, and, thereby, at minimum, contested divorces," Atherton wrote.
The couple are in their 60s, have been married for 12 years, and have no kids.
We may have found someone to beat Kim Davis in her absurdity!
