Homosexuals complain now that British Law Says Homosexuals Couples Can’t Divorce Over homosexual Cheating
 |
Since immoral homosexual marriage was forced onto England and Wales in 2013, over 15,000 immoral homosexuals and lesbians have been marriaed.
While most of us would rather think of the happy consummation of marital love and not its unhappy dissolution, statistically speaking, almost ten in 1,000 marriages end in divorce—and homosexual people are more likely to breakups because of the false foundation on which it has been build - against evolution, against biological design -sterile, against common sense, unbalanced when raising kids - and homosexual men tend to want multiples sexual encounters while in a homosexual marriage.
But any immoral homosexual couples who wish to divorce on the grounds of adultery may be in for a nasty shock. According to the law, you can't. According to the divorce guidelines on GOV.UK, the official government information resource for the public, "It doesn't count as adultery if [your partner] had sex with someone of the same sex. This includes if you're in a homosexual marriage."

Adultery historically relates directly to proper marriage not make believe marriage. For homosexuals it is infidelity which is the hallmark of their behaviour.
India Latham, a queer 25-year-old production coordinator from London, first discovered this legal anomaly when a friend posted about the rule on Facebook. "It angered, confused and worried me. Whilst I'm more than aware that there are many antiquated laws still in existence, this one represents a blatant discrimination in the law."

Here we go again - antiquated - discriminatory. But also illiterate historically
She set up a Change.org petition to challenge what she describes as a "homophobic" and "blatant inequality in the law." Defining adultery along these strictly gendered lines, she says, also ignores those who are genderqueer or non-binary. Again, scripture outlines the moral concept of adultrey in relation to marriage and it has been adopted by law - but like other countries where people choose to break their vows because they want to for no other reason - they seek a no-default divorce system.
If you're queer, getting a divorce isn't as straightforward as it seems. Under English and Welsh law (it differs in Scotland and Northern Ireland), there are five grounds for divorce: adultery, unreasonable behavior, desertion, if both partners have lived apart for more than two years (in the case of a mutually agreed divorce), and if both have lived apart for more than five years (if the divorce is contested).
You must supply one out of the five as proof that the marriage has irretrievably broken down in order for the courts to grant a divorce. If your partner cheats on you with someone of the same gender, that doesn't mean you're not allowed to separate—you can still get a divorce on the grounds of unreasonable behavior.
A government spokesperson told Broadly: "It is right that both opposite sex and same-sex couples have access to divorce proceedings if their partner is unfaithful.
"UK law currently defines adultery as consensual sexual activity between members of the opposite sex who are not married to each other. However, if someone in an immoral homosexual marriage or civil partnership wanted a divorce or dissolution following infidelity, they could apply on the grounds of unreasonable behaviour."
