Missouri: Same-sex breakup perplexes courts
An article by Ahmad Safi in the St. Joseph News-Press:
A lesbian married in Massachusetts has filed for an annulment from her partner in a Buchanan County court, creating a legal challenge in a state that overwhelming voted four years ago that marriage is only between a man and a woman. . . .
The Alliance Defense Fund, a Christian-based group, recently hailed a decision by the state Supreme Court in Rhode Island to deny a lesbian couple married in Massachusetts a divorce in that state.
Greg Scott, a spokesman for the group, said if Mr. Kellogg was to grant the couple a divorce or annulment, the ruling would “overrule” the will of Missourians, who in 2004 voted overwhelming for a constitutional amendment that prevents same-sex marriages from being conducted or recognized in Missouri.

Oh what a tangled web is weaved, when some practice to deceive.
THIS WHOLE PROBLEM WILL WORSEN IF STATES ADOPT THE POLICY OF CALLING ALL KINDS OF RELATIONSHIP……”MARRIAGE”. MARRIAGE SHOULD BE DEFINED AS: BETWEEN ONE MAN AND ONE WOMAN.
If we think the world is confusing enough, just think what it will be when every kind of relationship immaginable could be called, “MARRIAGE”. People will be marrying their dogs, goats, horses, multiple partners, group marriages, etc. and our children’s mental health will be the great cost in such a confusion world.
