Title: Mass. couple who led gay marriage fight to divorce Post by: BTM on February 04, 2009, 07:26:30 AM Man, this is ironic.
BOSTON – A lesbian couple who led the fight for gay marriage in Massachusetts has filed for divorce. Julie and Hillary Goodridge were among seven gay couples who filed a lawsuit that led to a court ruling making Massachusetts the first state to legalize same-sex marriages in 2004. The couple became the public face of the debate in the state and married the first day same-sex marriages became legal. The divorce case was filed last week in Suffolk Probate and Family Court and was not unexpected. The couple announced they were separating in 2006. Messages left for the Goodridges were not immediately returned Tuesday. http://news.yahoo.com/s/ap/20090203/ap_on_re_us/gay_marriage_divorce (http://news.yahoo.com/s/ap/20090203/ap_on_re_us/gay_marriage_divorce) Title: Re: Mass. couple who led gay marriage fight to divorce Post by: meQal on February 04, 2009, 07:33:24 AM I want to be in the courtroom for this case for one reason, to watch the judge's head explode trying to figure out which one to screw over.

Actually, some marriage studies have shown that, maybe because, of their expectations when they go into a marriage, fundies or fundamentalists, have a higher divorce rate then people who are not fundies or fundamentalists. |
