I was reading a Toronto Star article the other day about two women who married in Toronto but are actually from Indiana. They now want to get a divorce but since Indiana doesn’t recognize same-sex marriages they can’t get divorced there. Ontario requires at least one of the people in the marriage to live in the region for one year before proceeding with a divorce which is just impossible, the estranged couple says.
While that is certainly a catch-22, it’s not what I found confusing. It’s the picture of the two brides figurines used with the story and the cutline that reads “Two brides at a lesbian wedding day.” What? I have so many questions. Those are just figurines, they can’t be straight or gay. How are they at a lesbian wedding day? I’m so confused.
