Title: Isn't it Ironic?
Post by: Timothy on February 04, 2009, 08:13:24 PM
I guess, even same sex marriages can be as miserable as the rest ...I hope the lawyers have a field day... ;D


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.

(P.S.  The original case was forced by the State Supreme Court overstepping their legal charter and requiring the state legislature to write a new law to either forbid or allow same sex marriage.  Something that by most standards violates the states constitution, but the liberal wankers in Boston didn't care.)

 This is why I approve of same sex marriage. It's not right for gay people be deprived of the joys of community property settlements. Who gets custody of the strap on ?  ;D

Personally, I could care less what people do in the privacy of their own homes.  Leave me alone and live your own life, don't bother me and I won't bother you...it's called freedom!

What really pissed me off was the SC of MA overstepped their legal charter and decided to make law rather than interpret the constitutionality of the law!

Nothing suprises me around here anymore...

We knew a lesbian couple that broke up. Just think...a nasty divorce with TWO CRAZY wives battling it out.
It was incredibly ugly. I wonder if two gay guys just go, "I'm outta here" and that's the end of it.

There was another couple from RI who recieved a license to marry in MA and they got married right after the law was passed. 

They recently decided to split up but because RI doesn't recognize the union, they had to uproot themselves, move to MA, gain residency status which can be costly, and live here for a year before they are granted a divorce.

Be careful what you wish for...

Come on.  I figured the Massachusetts would give it away.  Let me see...  Ted Kennedy, John F. Kerry (he served in Vietnam in case you were wondering), Barney Frank...all glittering jewels of colossal ignorance.   

There are some good folks in MA, but the dumb masses outnumber you even on the SC.

The "husband" does. The "wife" gets everything else.

Even after 27 years living in CT and MA, when someone asks me where I'm from, I still answer Michigan!

I've never considered this place my home.  Just somewhere I gotta put up with for another twenty or thirty years, if I'm lucky!

I just assumed that one is a top and one is a bottom more than 50% of the time.
