Do you know what could happen when you have Gay Marriage?

[MrScorpio]

Gay Divorce, of course. That's when know that you've arrived. And you better believe that the lawyers will eat it up too.

*Things to look out for in the quest for acceptance*

1. I foresee Lawyers lining up to be experts on this one...

2. I think that's actually happened.

Ah ha! Found it: "2. Massachusetts Gay Divorce Gay couples began seeking gay divorce around seven months after same sex marriages were legalized in Massachusetts. The concept of gay divorce was so unprecedented in the state that couples had to fill out obsolete forms that still read "husband" and "wife." The first gay divorce case in Suffolk County, which includes Boston, was filed a male couple who married five days after same sex marriage was legalized. The couple, a 33-year-old religious educator from Boston and a 39-year-old professor, were based in Washington. The couple cited that their relationship had 'irretrievably broken down' as the reason for divorce, stating that their interests had grown in different directions. The settlement focused on custody of their three cats, who will live exclusively with the professor. As part of the settlement the professor agreed to provide his ex-husband with regular updates on the cats 'in recognition of the emotional hardship of such relinquishment'. Hampshire County reported a divorce filing within two months of the first gay weddings. The state's largest county, Middlesex County, had its first gay divorce three months into the legalization, involving a 38-year-old and a 27-year-old. The older partner cited 'cruel and abusive treatment' as the reason for the break-up."

3. I think Gay Marriage is also good

for the economy. I know that several small businesses benefitted from my son's recent wedding bash. I don't doubt that plenty of Gay couples would plan on big events to celebrate their nuptuals.

5. In addition

the states get to collect the marriage license fee. Don't know why so many states can't see this!

6. Economic boost!

Excellent call.

7. Businesses that benefit

from weddings are usually small businesses - caterers, DJs, photographers, florists, wine shops, bridal shops, tux rentals.

Seems like a no brainer to me in these tough economic times.

8. And the Texas attorney general is already concerned about ...

preserving the sanctity of traditional divorce. ;-)

Has ruled to deny a divorce in Texas for a gay couple married in another state.
