That's just crazy. Do hillbilly couples get special benefits in Texas if they're married AND related?

It's kind of weird knowing that future generations will look back on this time as a "Dark Age."

I could see something like this written and enforced in a bird's nest agreement divorce. (Bird's nest -- kid's stay in house; parents rotate out.) Doing this in a primary or regular joint custody agreement is just showing the mindset of the judge. Somewhere between neanderthal and stuck in the 50's.

It doesn't happen often, but occasionally I'm embarrassed to be Texan. Not often, mind you, but now and again. This is one of those times.

On this issue, Texas is somewhat backward.

Here we have another situation where a woman found marriage to a man, and sex with a man perfectly acceptable when she wanted to conceive kids.

Now she has "changed her mind" and wants the former husband and bio dad to go away, so she and the kids can form a new family with the new gay lover.

Of course the former husband needs to be forced by the court to continue sending child support, so the newly gay mom can have her cake and eat it too.

I would find this situation comical if it wasn't so fucking self righteous.

Live by family court, die by family court. If she wants to be married, she can move, and leave the kids with their dad.

My brother's divorce had the same basic clause in it for both of them. It became an issue when one of them wanted to take in a roommate for extra cash. They would have had to be somewhere else three nights a week when the kids were there so never took in a roommate because of the hassle it would create.

I don't see this as a discrimination issue since they apply it to gay and straight couples. It's about controlling who is around the kids and when. It seems kind of outdated to me, although I could see plenty of situations where it would be a good idea, such as when mommy or daddy has a history of cycling through new partners every few weeks or so.

You know, if you don't want to live up to a contract, don't effin' sign it!

Or better yet: renegotiate. They'll have to give up something, but that's the way it goes.

There are stupid laws everywhere and, if they were of a mind, Judges who could enforce them. Don't even try to tell me that California judges are unbiased and don't push a progressive agenda. I would rather live in Texas as opposed to the Socialist State of California any day. I can afford a house here, Amy. I don't have to rent and can afford my house without makng a quarter mil a year. The weather ain't as good and, yes, hurricanes are something I have to worry about but I can afford to live here with a normal salary. More importantly, the people are for the most part courteous and proud of their state. They have a sense of history and are accepting of others as long as they love Texas. I lived in California for 3 years as a member of the military. For 3 years, I was looked down upon for my service by the citizens of that "fair state". Fuck Them. The citizens of that shithole are getting everything they deserve from their Government. "Good and Hard" as Mencken would say. The weather in Cali is great but the average citizen is a mooching piece of garbage. Good luck paying for that since you are at least a productive part of the state.

Best thing ever said on these topics.

One solution not being mentioned here:
the homosexuals involved could go get what's termed reparative therapy, where their deviance gets cured, and they turn heterosexual. No, it's not certain, but it has a higher success rate than Alcoholics Anonymous. Act too weird, and you're going to eventually run across consequences you won't like.

Trolling troll who trolls.

Bunny, there's a reason that this isn't being mentioned here, either as a "solution" or in any other context, and your misapplication of the word "deviance" is a big part of that reason.

Searching with Google, we see that "Luke" appears of whenever Amy's postings brush up (languidly; poignantly) against the topic of men who like to kiss other men on the pee-pee.

Otherwise, "Luke" doesn't comment very much.

Now, Luke, is there something you want to share with the group? Something from a very dark and secret part of your heart that you'd never be able to share with your friends and associates in person?

It's an old joke... But I wish some of these straight men who're certain that preference is elective (and thus "reparable") would prove it. It by blowing a guy.

I wouldn't worry about it much Luke.

My feeling is that Crid himself is gay, otherwise he wouldn't be so damned bigoted against the whole concept.

It's OK Crid, you don't have to hide in the closet forever.

We understand.
