146. Already happened
In Iowa, a lesbian couple in Sioux City had gotten a civil union in VT. They decided to end the relationship and a judge granted them a dissolution. He said he saw it as dissolving a contract--no big deal. The fundies went NUTS!!! They insisted he had granted a divorce in a marriage that the state didn't recognize. Called for the judge to be recalled. Failing that, they worked against him in the next election. They took the case to appeal. The state supreme court threw out the case, saying these fundie group had no standing to bring suit.

So, apparently, they wanted these two women, whom they didn't want getting married in the first place, to stay married.

Just trying to understand the reasoning makes my brain hurt.
