Man in Texas Gay Divorce Not "A Poster Child" for Gay Marriage

A Dallas man seeking a divorce from his male spouse in Texas appeared publicly for the first time Sunday, saying he is not "a poster child" for efforts to legalize gay marriages in Texas and other states. The man, who identifies himself only as "J.B.," said on ABC’s "Good Morning America Weekend" that his petition for a divorce from his spouse of three years was not intended to be a "test case" for expanding gay rights. "This is not about gay and lesbian marriage," he said. The case drew attention after Dallas Judge Tena Callahan ruled Thursday that Texas' 4-year-old ban against gay marriages is unconstitutional because it stands in the way of gay divorces.
