BOSTON – A lesbian couple who led the fight for gay marriage in Massachusetts has filed for divorce. Julie and Hillary Goodridge were among seven gay couples who filed a lawsuit that led to a court ruling making Massachusetts the first state to legalize same-sex marriages in 2004. The couple became the public face of the debate in the state and married the first day same-sex marriages became legal.

yawn...and how about the kids? Oh...excuse me...their can’t be now can there.
Wow. They lasted all of five years. *SMIRK*
Bawahahahahaha
Who gets custody of the gerbils?
Wonder what would happen if somehow the judge made them stay together for all their freewheeling, publicity and the face of MA lesbianism. I think of the biblical saying “with great wealth comes great responsibility”.
They will share custody of their teenage daughter. I believe stats from foreign nations which have recognized same sex marriage show those marriages are particularly short-lived.
In all fairness, when normal couples break up, they usually fight to divorce too.
In the spirit of political correctness, and with this tragic event coming so close to Valentine’s Day, I propose changing the title of “Valentine’s Day” to “National Equal Marriage That Ends In Divorce Day” and make it a Federal holiday.
The extra bonus here is that government employees get another day off.
Email your legislators! Are you with me?
(the above is a joke...)
down in Texas, we call them “BUCKLE BUDDIES”
Now lesbians can know how divorced Dads feel.
Deep disagreements over fuzz braiding and hose own top ;-]
Didn’t a Danish study have it that the alt ‘marriages’ last an average of 2 years out that way? Not sure but that’s the # I recall.
This ‘couple’ did well!
The lezzies are the real driving force behind the ‘gay marriages’, so maybe they go three yrs while the butt buddy sector just one, so math tells me two!
Announcer: Todd is a part time employee at Petco. Bruce is a much-in-demand interior designer. They are here today in Gay Divorce Court to bring an end to their three month marriage amidst allegations of infidelity, heavy drug abuse and verbal assaults. Let’s join the court now as Judge Baxter Brownbutter adjudicates this painful breakup.
Todd: “….we were madly in love and I thought we’d be together for a lifetime. That all changed when my rectum prolapsed. Suddenly the magic was gone and the abuse began…”
Bruce: “Your honor, I wasn’t the one who caused his love bucket to fall out. That happened at a three day beach party when he decided to take on Lubricia, the lesbian dominatrix and her 12 inch strap-on.”
Judge Brownbutter: “Quiet you. You’ll have your turn in a minute. Go ahead Todd dear. You’re already at a grand a month. Love the sailor suit.”
And so on…..

Announcer: In today’s episode of Gay Divorce Court, a lesbian couple from San Francisco, California comes before Judge Yolanda Sans Spermatozoa to put an end to their six month marriage amid allegations of mental cruelty, false imprisonment and emotional distress.
Marie Ball-Bustier has filed for divorce from her long time lover and short time spouse, Vaginitia Lackluster, claiming among other things that Ms. Lackluster has tried to impregnate her against her will and has taken to locking her in the car on family outings. Let’s now join the court as Judge Sans Spermatozoa solicits testimony in this emotional case.
Marie: Your honor, I’m a feminist/lesbian and I object to any intrusion into my bodily orifices because of my conviction that all heterosexual behavior is rape perpetrated by a patreo/judaeo/christo/mohammedo/capitalo societal framework embossed onto our collective consciousness by Republicans and their archetypical co-religionists.
So you can imagine my surprise when Vaginitia attempted to impregnate me with a commercial grade turkey baster and the sperm of a man whom I consider to be a psycho-historical revisionist.
Vaginitia: Your honor, for years I complied with Marie’s wishes concerning her physical apprehensions but now that we’re married I feel that I have a right to offspring. Since Marie’s my wife, I feel it’s her obligation to give me children…
Marie: I’m NOT the wife!
Vaginitia: You’re the wife…
Marie: NOT!!
Judge Sans Spermatozoa: Womyn, please! Since this is a new area of the law and we’re just making it up anyway, I feel that I have the discretionary latitude to assign roles in these matters. Ms. Ball-Bustier, you’re the wife…
Marie: NOT!!
