ANNA WAUGH | News Editor [email protected]

AUSTIN — The legal differences between states that recognize same-sex marriage and those that don’t collided in the Texas Supreme Court on Tuesday. Two same-sex couples who married in Massa- chusetts but now live in Texas want to divorce, but Texas Attorney General Greg Abbott is fighting it, arguing same-sex couples in Texas can’t divorce because the state doesn’t recognize their marriages. Jody Scheske, the attorney for the two couples, H.B. and J.B. of Dallas and Angelique Naylor and Sabrina Daly of Austin, focused his arguments on the validity of their marriages in another state. He further highlighted that only the parties petitioning for a divorce, and not the state, have a right to contest it. The Austin couple was granted a divorce in a lower court. Abbott intervened and filed in the Third Court of Appeals, but the lower court’s decision was upheld. Abbott then appealed that decision to the Supreme Court. According to documents obtained by Dallas Voice, Abbott has spent $189,912.08 fighting the cases from January 2009 to July 2013.

DAVID TAFFET | Staff Writer [email protected]

Physicians visiting Dallas from sister city Sara- tov, Russia, are proud their city is more open and accepting to gays and lesbians than other parts of their country. “They’re proud of not being part of the terrible things happening in Russia,” said their host, former state Rep. Harryette Ehrhardt. Over the summer, a number of American cities considered dropping their sister city partners in Russia because of an anti-gay law passed by that country. The law bans “propaganda of nontradi- tional sexual relations to minors.” But the law is just part of an anti-gay campaign that has accelerated under the leadership of Russ- ian President Vladimir Putin. Pride parades have been banned in Russia, and a number of violent attacks on gays have been reported.

Other people got it — kinda because they deserved it. Rock Hudson? Closet case. Ron Woodroof (Matthew McConaughey) seemed to think that, too. He enjoyed tomcatting around with a parade of different women in between scamming gamblers and generally raising hell. So the day he went into the hospital and found out that he had full-blown AIDS and barely a month to live, he knew the diagnosis had to be wrong. Back then, AIDS was a death sentence. And Ron was not prepared to die just yet. That’s the premise for Dallas Buyers Club, a highly fictionalized telling of Woodroof’s story — how, given a choice between the poisonous treatment from AZT or certain death, he picked the third option: Importing legal but non-FDA-approved drugs from Mexico and Asia to keep him- GENDER-BENDING | In the film, Woodroof’s physician is Eve Saks, played by Jennifer Garner, left.

QUEER CLiP: ‘thor: the Dark World’ Continuity has never been the strong suit of the Marvel fran- chises. The Avengers didn’t even try to explain how Thor (Chris Hemsworth) made it to Earth after the gateway from Asgard had been destroyed, and Thor’s girlfriend Jane (Natalie Portman) barely figured into the story at all. So it’s a small surprise that Thor: The Dark World has plot holes big enough for Thor to walk through. But who cares about story when you have a mega- ripped blonde Nordic hippie flexing his biceps every 15 seconds? Still, it’s too bad the director, Alan Taylor, gives us only a few seconds of the shirtless God of Thunder, but it was enough to make the women and some of the gay men at the screening sigh.
