Dallas Judge Clears Way for Gay Divorce

Back in March, I posted a story of a Dallas man who married his longtime partner in Massachusetts and later asked a Texas court to grant him a divorce. The Court refused to hear the case due to same-sex marriages not being recognized in Texas. Recently, however, Judge Tena Callahan, lifted the ban on gay divorce when she ruled last week that two men married in another state can get divorced in Dallas. While gay rights advocates are applauding Judge Callahan's decision, the state attorney general said Friday that he would appeal the decision.
