TX: AG Tries to Block Lesbian Couple's Divorce
Texas Attorney General Greg Abbott is arguing that divorce, like marriage, according to Texas law, is reserved solely for a man and a woman. A state district judge in Austin granted a divorce last week between Sabina Daly, of San Antonio, and Angelique Naylor, of Austin.
