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."

Who gets to file for alimony?

EEEUUUwww.... I can hardly *wait* for THAT to hit the courts (which will happen the instant a "Butch" and a "Fem" who are co-parenting some unfortunate child, have a "falling out" over whose dog did what where when, or something...)

There is no such thing as gay marriage, let alone divorce. This whole topic is disgusting.

Agreed, they were never married, therefore they can't divorce. They can simply cease their unnatural lifestyle.

The lawyers come out ahead on this deal. I bet there are another dozen 700 series BMWs sold in Mass...strictly because of the gay divorce business.
