If a married woman has sex with another woman, is that adultery? The New Hampshire Supreme Court, ruling in a divorce case, says no.

The court was asked to review a case in which a husband accused his wife of adultery after she had a sexual relationship with another woman. Robin Mayer of Brownsville, Vt., was named in the divorce proceedings of David and Sian Blanchflower of Hanover.

A Family Court judge decided Mayer and Sian Blanchflower's relationship did constitute adultery, but Mayer appealed to the Supreme Court, arguing that gay sex is not adultery under New Hampshire divorce law.

Three of the five justices agreed. Two others -- generally considered the court's more conservative members -- did not.

Part of the problem in New Hampshire is that adultery is not defined in the state's divorce laws. So the court looked up "adultery" in Webster's dictionary and found that it mentions intercourse. And it found an 1878 case that referred to adultery as "intercourse from which spurious issue may arise."

Other states, including Georgia, Florida and South Carolina, have defined adultery in broader terms -- beyond intercourse -- to include gay sex.

"I think the majority opinion is unintentionally trivializing same-sex relations and violating modern notions of the sanctity of marriage," said Marcus Hurn, a professor at Franklin Pierce Law Center.

A sexual relationship, whether heterosexual or homosexual, is "exactly an equivalent betrayal and that, I think, is the ordinary meaning most people would give."

But the majority did not want the New Hampshire courts to step onto the slippery slope of defining which sex acts outside of intercourse might amount to adultery.

"This standard would permit a hundred different judges ... to decide just what individual acts are so sexually intimate as to meet the definition," the court said.

The dissenters said adultery should be defined more broadly to include other intimate extramarital sexual activity.

A relationship is adulterous "because it occurs outside of marriage and involves intimate sexual activity, not because it involves only one particular sex act," said Chief Justice David Brock and Justice John Broderick.”

“Whether it's adultery or not, it's a beautiful and natural act.”

“not when I am not involved”

“What is so beautiful and natural
about having a sore friggin A$$.
Not me man!”

“I would like to read this entire court opinion.

It is hard to tell what logic they were following from the news article.”

“Lesbians, ElfScream, lesbians. That's a beautiful and natual act.

“I think there is a lesbian in me
struggling to get out!”

“There was a woman in Mass. who wanted to change the law to read
that adultery could not be grounds
for divorce. That was about 10 yrs. ago.”

“Sharply divided opinion.

I would say the wife had a damn good lawyer.”

“I think the New Hampshire legislature will be writing a new law.

Of course, I assume that this ruling means in NH, it isn't adultery if married people cheat, but only have oral (or use dildos and other paraphenalia).”

“sex is sex”

“Hey, if the evidence did not stand up in court, then the lawyer should have admitted that he didn't have his case licked.”

“You mean you were supposed to be the bologna, but got left out of the sandwich?

By the way, if two women are engaged in lesbian sex, they can't really 'blow', can they?”

“omg...LOL..you guys are sooo bad.....”

From thesmokinggun.com:

While seated on the bench, an Oklahoma judge used a male enhancement pump, shaved and oiled his nether region, and pleasured himself, state officials charged yesterday in a petition to remove the jurist. According to the below complaint filed by the Oklahoma Attorney General, Donald D. Thompson, 57, was caught in the act by a clerk, trial witnesses, and his longtime court reporter (these unsettling first-hand accounts will make you wonder what's going on under other black robes). Visitors to Thompson's Creek County courtroom reported hearing a "swooshing" sound coming from the bench, a noise the court reporter said "sounded like a blood pressure cuff being pumped up."
