R.I. lesbians sue to get a ‘divorce’
Rhode Island’s highest court yesterday heard appeals from two homosexual women seeking a “divorce” in their home state, while in Oklahoma, a state lawmaker filed an amicus brief in a similar case.Attorneys for Cassandra Ormiston and Margaret Chambers yesterday said the only question before the Rhode Island Supreme Court was whether the state can recognize a same-sex “marriage” from another state for the purpose of dissolving it.
The attorneys stressed that the women’s lawsuit — which seeks to end a “marriage” they obtained in Massachusetts in 2004 — has no bearing on whether homosexuals can “marry” in Rhode Island.”You have a valid marriage in the state of Massachusetts,” Louis Pulner, an attorney for Miss Chambers, told the justices. “No one is asking the court to address the question of whether such marriages would be valid in Rhode Island.”
However, a conservative legal defense organization said same-sex “marriage” is exactly what the state will get if the court recognizes a homosexual “divorce.”
