Where many gay couples in Texas are fighting for the right to have their unions recognised by the state, one couple is fighting to get theirs dissolved.

Due to a legal loophole,  a Texas-based lesbian former couple have been told by the courts that they cannot get a divorce  - even though it doesn’t recognise their marriage. Angelique Naylor and Sabina Daly got married in Massachussets, where gay marriage is legal but by the time they separated three years ago, they had moved to Texas. They had initially been given a divorce by a judge in Austin, but Texas Attorney Greg Abbott has overruled the decision, claiming that it would undermine ”traditional definition of marriage”.

The two women share responsibility not only for their son, but also their business. Talking about their struggle to The Daily Telegraph Naylor, who initiated divorce proceedings, describes divorce as a “courtesy” that the state should be in a position to offer them.

The Conservatives will consider ending the ban on same-sex marriage if elected into Government, according to the Shadow Chancellor George Osborne.

Mr Osborne met gay rights campaigners Peter Tatchell, Tamsin Omond and Deborah Grayson just before a gay flashmob picketed the Conservative Party HQ on Sunday.

He told them that party leader David Cameron would be “very happy to consider the case for gay marriage” - meaning that couples in a civil partnership could legally say that they were married.

Mr Tatchell said the 50-minute meeting with Osborne and fellow Tory frontbenchers Theresa May and Nick Herbert showed the Tories had “good intentions” but were “weak on coherent policy”.

“It was positive that they met us but disappointing that they had nothing to tell us,” he said.

“George Osborne was full of good intentions but very weak on very specific gay rights policies.”

“The best he could do on gay marriage was say he would consider it.”

A Populus poll for The Times last summer found that 61% of the general public believe that lesbian and gay couples should be allowed to get married in a registry office, like their heterosexual counterparts.

A crowd of people showed up outside the Conservative Party headquarters in London yesterday, for a protest with a difference. Advertising itself as a ‘gay flash mob’, LGBT film distributors Peccadillo Pictures were handing out free copies of their film, The Gay Bed and Breakfast of Terror, in protest at MP Chris Grayling’s support of The Swiss Bed and Breakfast, whose owners refused entry to a gay couple.

Simon Savory, who helped organise the event, said that although the film was billed as a ‘horror comedy’, ”it is nowhere near as horrifying and unfunny as the opinions and ideals of the Cookham B&B owners”. Copies of the film were also sent to Mr Grayling and the Cooksons, who own the B&B in question, as well as to David Cameron. Whether or not the potential future Prime Minister enjoyed the film is left unanswered - as of this morning, he was unavailable to comment.

Peccadillo Pictures, who describe themselves as “not afraid to get political every so often”, are the distribution company behind the gender-bending romcom-with-a-difference, Butch Jamie, and this year’s London Lesbian and Gay Film Festival hit, Along Came Lola. Today also sees the release of their widely acclaimed lesbian drama,  Producing Adults.
