Two women who got hitched days after the Marriage Equality Act in New York will file divorce papers this week

A lesbian couple is set to have the first New York gay divorce, due to file papers on Thursday (28 June).

Two women who have been in a relationship since 2008, and got hitched last summer after the Marriage Equality Act in New York was legalized, will be filing papers this week.

. . .

A couple for just over three years, Marks and Stage tied the knot in The Pop Up Chapel in Central Park.

Stage told the Atlantic Wire Marks had met another woman on the internet. Shortly afterwards, the couple broke up.

However, as New York law states marriages must have been broken down for at least six months before filing for divorce, it is only now the first gay divorces are beginning to happen.

Apparently even when the fight for same sex marriage proves successful, the unravelling happens anyway. It is clear that the insistence by gay advocates that they can do better than straights, and will stem the tide of divorce, does not hold true.

The fact is, SSM rode in on the decadent divorce and unravelling which took place in the straight world, and will ride out on it, too.

This pair managed to stay “married” for ten months.

In the homosexual world, this counts as a “stable, long-term relationship”.

Right, I think they may just prove to be their own undoing on the same sex marriage front.

If there’s no man in the marriage, how will the divorce Judges know which side to screw over?

It’s always been my understanding that lesbian relationships were infinitely more stable than gay relationships. Camille Paglia once remarked that gay relationships inevitably wind up being sex without love, and lesbian relationships inevitably wind up being love without sex.

Either way, ten months is inconceivable for a Kardashian.

The lawyers will be the only ones that ever profit from gay marriage. I have seen my step son and his peers fight like cats and dogs during their 'break ups". I frankly have several times just told them to leave the house.

They are the most petty, spiteful people I have ever seen, they will spare no expense taking their fights public and the lawyers will laugh all the way to the bank.

Just like the Goodridge "couple" in Massachusetts:

The lesbians that started this whole thing back in '03....

The Goodridge couple, who helped start the chaos, are now "divorced".

Right - it is bad enough when a man and woman marry, create a child together, and then divorce.

But imagine the lesbian and gay male couples who hire surrogates or sperm donors, bring into being a child through unnatural means, and then decide they really should not have done the whole thing in the first place?

There are going to be some strange, alienated kids growing up as a result of the selfishness of adults who just HAD to prove their point.

It has been proven over and over again that the best way to ruin an excellent relationship is to get married.

Right, I think all of this is proving that this social experiment was less about wanting to marry, and more about selfishness and making your point, society and kids be damned.
