Trapped!

The gay residents of Rhode Island are the only ones (though joined soon my New York) who can go to Massachusetts to get married and have the marriage recognized in their home state. One catch. In the same way they can't get married in RI, they can't get divorced there either. They can't even get divorced in Mass. because that is only available to residents. Some RI legislators understand the problem and have introduced legislation to allow gay couples to divorce. Strangely, those groups against gay marriage are also are against gay divorce. If you manage to get into a gay marriage (which we oppose), by golly, we're not going to let you out of it.
