BOSTON, Massachusetts (AP) -- Less than seven months after same-sex couples began tying the knot in Massachusetts, the state is seeing its first gay divorces.
Newlyweds seeking to renounce the vows they so recently took have been trickling into probate courts across the state, filling out obsolete forms that still read "husband" and "wife."
Josh Friedes, a spokesman for the Massachusetts Freedom to Marry Coalition, said the rapid divorces are no cause for concern.
"It would be wonderful if every marriage lasted until a couple lived to a ripe old age, but unfortunately we know from our heterosexual peers that all too often there are irrconcilable differences, and for these couples, divorce is often the most humane option," Friedes said. "Anyone who argues that gay and lesbian couples divorcing is grounds for opposing gay marriage is being incredibly hypocritical."

Bad enough to attempt to make a travesty of marriage, but now they make one of divorce. Be interesting to see if they had pre-nuptial (or pre-whatever) agreements. LOL! Time wounds all heels!
Some men are so insensitive.
The APA is also working to normalize pedophilia.
In research it finds that there is no difference in gay parenting verses heterosexual parenting.
Your 'research' apparently has not reached the phase where the kids on the playground ask "Where's your mommy?"
Most stories on this subject fail to mention the big winners in all of this, lawyer$.
"it'd be juthth tho COOL to get a DIVORTHE..."
THtoooopp..... your hurting my feeeellingthth......
Maybe they should just get a pet monkey...It'll get in just as much trouble, do all sorts of cute, inventive things, and they'll save a fortune on school clothes.
Yeah - but if they go & get married again, can they be prosecuted for bigamy???? LOL
Common sense tells us that children who are raised by a homosexual couples are going to experience gender identification problems!!
The research you cited is clearly being done by biased organizations. Let's face it, the mental health organizations in this country are run by folks with a clear agenda, specifically "normalizing" homosexuality.
We the "uneducated" don't need statistics to see clearly. Our hearts and heads tell us that gay marriage is WRONG.
Love your tagline. I spent 3 years in Bismarck & Dickinson & can sympathize!
Apparently, the majority of gay marriages are between wimyn. That aside, has the Massachusetts Supreme Judicial Court ruled, in its infinite wisdom, that gay divorce is constitutional?
Wow....you are so smart. I'm not sure how I've lived so long..and married 20+ yrs to boot, without your "superior" knowledge.
I smell troll...oh where are the zots and the viking kitties when we need them.....!
I've been here since '78, this side of the state since '79, and just can't see going back to live in the overregulated, overpopulated, East...
It only took a couple of decades to get used to winter...why waste that?
If not, don't give 'em one, and bust them for adultery....
ROTFLMAO!
We need a Constitutional Amendment protecting the sanctity of divorce. "A divorce is a breakup of a married man and woman."
You got it. It should become clear to everyone why lawyers vote for liberals......because liberal policies lead to chaos and when there's chaos people run to the lawyers. Look at all the instant clients gay marriage is creating.
Really. When it is a man and a woman, the man usually gets screwed, so the choice is obvious there. It's usually a roadhouse divorce (that's what my wife gave me). She got the house, I got the road.
Anyway, it is going to be fun for the judge to determine which one is the "man"!
