Alabama's governor is getting divorced. Guess what one of his "big issues" is?

You guessed it, gay marriage.
And what is a "conflict of personalities?"
Lawyerese for "They hated each other's guts?"

Alabama governor who called marriage equality a ‘social experiment’ slapped with divorce papers

The governor of Alabama, who is an advocate of “traditional marriage” and has been vocally against same-sex unions, is getting a divorce.

Gov. Robert Bentley’s wife on Friday filed for divorce, citing incompatibility of temperament, according to local ABC33. The filing states that “[t]here exists a conflict of personalities which destroys the legitimate aims of matrimony and all possibilities of reconciliation are futile.”

Seems like odd timing to ask for a divorce during a Governor's term.
