A client came in for a divorce the other day. He wanted to get the divorce based on adultery. So I asked him “who is your wife having an affair with.” He said she was having an affair with another woman. Well that was a shock. I was not stunned about the lesbian relationship. Homosexuality has become commonplace today. It dawned on me that the recent Supreme Court decision legalizing gay marriage may have made the sexual relationship between the two women sufficient grounds for a divorce based on adultery in a heterosexual marriage. It is legally plausible that a sexual relationship between "persons" may now become the definition of adultery. But then it appeared to me that intercourse is required for adultery. Merriam-Webster defines intercourse as “sexual contact between individuals involving penetration, especially the insertion of a man's erect penis into a woman's vagina, typically culminating in orgasm and the ejaculation of semen.” According to this definition, two women cannot have intercourse. Can two men have intercourse? Can anal sex, once condemned as illegal activity, be redefined to mean intercourse? I guess the Supreme Court can change the definition! But the Supreme Court will never be able to redefine natural law. Two men or two women will never be able to produce children. The marriage and divorce laws will have to become gender natural. If a spouse of a homosexual marriage between two men has a fling with a woman or another man, a divorce will become available based on adultery. Oh, the tangled webs we weave in our profane depravity.
