Gene Robinson made headlines in 2003 as the first openly gay Anglican bishop. Eleven years later, the Episcopalian has announced that he is filing for divorce from his partner of 25 years.
In a post published by the Daily Beast, Robinson explained the situation.
Recently, my partner and husband of 25-plus years and I decided to get divorced. While the details of our situation will remain appropriately private, I am seeking to be as open and honest in the midst of this decision as I have been in other dramatic moments of my life—coming out in 1986, falling in love, and accepting the challenge of becoming Christendom’s first openly gay priest to be elected a Bishop in the historic succession of bishops stretching back to the apostles[...] It is at least a small comfort to me, as a gay rights and marriage equality advocate, to know that like any marriage, gay and lesbian couples are subject to the same complications and hardships that afflict marriages between heterosexual couples,” he wrote. “All of us sincerely intend, when we take our wedding vows, to live up to the ideal of ’til death do us part.’ But not all of us are able to see this through until death indeed parts us.
Robinson and Mark Andrew entered into a civil union in 2010 after New Hampshire legalized same-sex marriage.
ewww - just had a picture in my mind of Sotomayer - Kagan - Ginsburg. Stop me before it imprints.....
“Recently, my partner and husband...”
So, Gene Robinson was the wife. But if he’s a man, how can he be a wife?
Perhaps it would be interesting to know why they are getting divorced. Irreconcilable differences?
Mr. Robinson here is showing a great amount of modesty. The priests of Baal have their beginnings thousands of years before the start of Christendom.

Throwing in the towel, or snapping the towel, or whatever, after only four years of their much-campaigned-for legal marriage? Now he's comparing himself to straights who get divorced.... whatta guy. Whatta gal. Whatever.
you started it )
I know.
I am so BAD sometimes!
LOL.
Having been recently transferred from Australia,the "bishop" is now free to cruise the bath houses of Boston without any sense of guilt.
Gack! Where to start is right.
