Even though they can’t get married
They were allowed to divorce:
Iowa law doesn’t recognize homosexual marriages, but a Woodbury County district judge has approved a divorce for two lesbians who were united in a civil union last year in Vermont.
Judge Jeffrey Neary said he routinely signs divorces without checking the participants’ gender. When he discovered what had happened, he said to Dennis Ringgenberg, attorney for Kimberly Brown: “Dennis, these are two females.”
“He said ‘yes’ and proceeded to explain the situation,” Neary said. “I said this is probably going to be a controversial matter at some point in time, and he smiled and said, ‘You’re right.’
Oops.
