  1. That happened here in Canada too, when the laws changed. Same-sex couples could get married, but not divorced. Nobody seems to have thought of it — a decent indicator, it seems to me, of how little actual thought went into the implications of the original legal change.
    Anyway, in Canada it was a federal matter and the powers-that-be quickly fixed the problem. Down there, where things happen on a state-by-state basis, it is bound to be messier.

  2. I should have said “was given to” instead of “went into”.

  3. Actually I was a bit surprised by this, because I remember reading something a while back, probably at least five years, about lawyers looking forward to the spoils to be had from gay divorce. Didn’t think about state laws getting in the way.

    But different from the ‘obvious but strangeness’ of knowing the babies one once knew are soldiers in Afghanistan, or graduating from University.

  5. I think you meant that to be in the Bradbury et.al thread. Sort of a funny juxtaposition. But anyway, yeah, it’s sort of an inverse.

    This is grimly funny, and reminds me of a fellow who opined that gays only wanted to marry so they can divorce like all their straight friends.
