1st divorce

[Tigermike 3,078]

"'Less than seven months after same-sex couples began tying the knot in Massachusetts, the state is seeing its first gay divorces,' the Associated Press reports from Boston: The first gay divorce case in Suffolk County, which includes Boston, was filed...by a male couple who exchanged vows on May 22, five days after same-sex marriage was legalized. One partner was a 33-year-old religious educator from Boston, the other a 39-year-old professor based in Washington. Since then, the couple said in their divorce filing, 'our interests have grown in different directions.' Each man signed a settlement attesting that the marriage had 'irretrievably broken down.' The most difficult part of the settlement appeared to be custody of their three cats, who will live exclusively with the professor. But 'in recognition of the emotional hardship of such relinquishment,' the settlement reads, the professor agreed to provide his ex 'with periodic updates, photographs, and any health-related information pertaining to the cats.' One wonders why two men would have rushed into an ill-advised marriage. After all, it's not as though it could have been a shotgun wedding." --James Taranto

Gee, isn't that a shame. They finally got the right to marry and they squander the opprtunity

I just hope the cats aren't emotionally scarred
