Cecere Addresses Gay Divorce in Texas in a debate with Hiram Sasser of the Liberty Institute (sponsored by the Federalist Society, Dallas Bar Association, Dallas, Texas, May 2010)

Carl Cecere represented on appeal a member of a same-sex couple married in Massachusetts, where same-sex marriage is legal, who sought a divorce in Texas, where it is not.  Here Carl debates Hiram Sassar of the Liberty Institute.  Carl argues that Texas law does not prohibit same-sex couples from obtaining divorces, even though it would prohibit the State from allowing same-sex marriages. If Texas refused to allow a same-sex couple to obtain a divorce, Carl argues that Texas would be violating numerous constitutional rights of married same-sex couples, including equal protection, due process, and the right to travel.
