More in the Breach Than the Observance

"...the state of Texas... says a union granted in a state where same-sex marriage is legal can't be dissolved with a divorce in a state where it's not... Texas Attorney General Greg Abbott... is appealing a divorce granted to a gay couple in Dallas, saying protecting the "traditional definition of marriage" means doing the same for divorce."
  - Associated Press

I think I overuse the phrase "reduced to a parody of itself', but I think it's warranted in this case. At the point that you're forcing a same-sex couple to remain married as part of your opposition to marriage equality... yeah, I'm going to say you've lost track of your ideology...

In other news, the KKK is distancing itself from Fred "God Hates Fags" Phelps, and announced they have no opposition to civil unions.

Who knew Texas was into absurdist drama? Are they trying to look like idiots? (But hey, at least they repealed the ban on dildo sales!)

Wow. If even the KKK thinks you've gone too far... wow.

I can't work out if it makes more sense as some sort of Kafka-esque satire or as a high-concept romantic comedy...

How about a Kafka-esque satirical romantic comedy musical? Some things demand a soundtrack.
