Maybe with the guys its whoever makes more, because the poorer one now has a new standard of living that has to be maintained.

Yep, it's the higher earning partner, which is more often the man, that pays alimony. If a man marries a woman who makes more than he does he can get alimony from her in the event of divorce.

Yeah but with two gay guys, the higher earner is the “husband” who gets screwed by family court. The lesser earning man is the woman who gets awarded money from the “husbank”.

Exactly. I know men who collect alimony from their ex-wives and women who pay alimony to their ex-husbands.
