In Dallas, TX... two men who got "gay married" in Massachusetts in 2006 have, like so many people, decided they didn't want to spend their lives together "til death do us part." They filed for a divorce, which a district court judge in Dallas granted. But the Texas 5th Circuit Court of Appeals said, "Oh, no you don't! This is Texas. We don't let people get 'gay married' here. And if you can't get 'gay married', you can't get 'gay divorced' either!" Read the Associated Press story HERE.
So, unlike straight couples who can get married and divorced willy nilly, once you get "gay married"... well, then we start applying the words of Jesus to the situation:
So they are no longer two, but one flesh. Therefore what God has joined together, let no one separate.’ They said to him, ‘Why then did Moses command us to give a certificate of dismissal and to divorce her?’ He said to them, ‘It was because you were so hard-hearted that Moses allowed you to divorce your wives, but at the beginning it was not so. And I say to you, whoever divorces his wife, except for unchastity, and marries another commits adultery.--Matthew 19:6-9
Obviously, gays are meant to live by the laws and ethics of the First Century world. As such, that would make gays God's chosen people. I imagine that next, we'll be told that in the event of the death of our "gay married" partners we will be obliged to "gay marry" one of our beloved's same-sex siblings. Their orientation probably won't matter; but it would be dishonorable for them NOT to marry the widower or widow of their deceased relative. (see Deuteronomy 25:5-10).
Geez, as if it wasn't tough enough to be made to live in a 'crucified place' all the time!

Peggins, I don't know what's confusing. I am chosen. I am special. I am to live by the Biblical laws. It's just you straight people who can do whatever you want. Go ahead: eat some shrimp.
