The Boston Herald reports that the photogenic lesbian pair--Herbert Garrison and Mr. Slave just wouldn't have worked as posterchildren--that sued Massachusetts into declaring select homosexual couplings "marriages" has filed for divorce. Though not exactly Jane Roe coming out against abortion, and several years in the making, the pair's abreviated union is a bit of a public relations setback. Given that their "marriage" only lasted a couple of years, might some judge issue an annulment on gay marriage in general and not just their suspicious "marriage" in particular? Should either desire to convert from Unitarianism to, say, Catholicism, a divorce-proceedings claim that they were forced into the marriage for reasons other than love--To make a political point?--might be enough to void the nuptials and preserve the possibility of a church wedding down the road. What do you say ladies?

I think the two of them would easily receive a decree of nullity simply because the marriage was never consummated (ahem) in any traditional or canon law sense. At least, I think it wasn't.

I'm very dissappointed to hear this. I thought they'd make a go of it and stay together for the children. ;-)~
