Same-Sex Divorce Denied in Fort Worth

Two women, Brooke Powell and Cori Jo Long, who were legally married in New Hampshire were denied their requests for either a divorce or a ruling that their marriage was void. Tarrant County District Court Judge William Harris based his ruling on Texas’ ban on gay marriage. An appeal of the decision is expected.
