First same-sex civil union in the U.S. is splitting up:
Carolyn Conrad also sought a restraining order against her partner Kathleen Peterson Wednesday, "saying Peterson punched a hole in the wall during an argument and threatened to harm a friend," according to AP. Said Vermont Freedom to Marry Task Force member Bari Shamas: "There's no proof that our relationships are any better than heterosexual relationships."

Typical behavior of dykes... our nuns often are more violent but enjoy taking their anger out by inflicting pain upon innocent school children, especially boys.
As for me... just continue to let me have first crack at those young choir boys and my handlers and the government can do as they please.
Dubya is leading the Fourth Reich that will rein for a thousand years and stack the Supremes with five of my boys to guarantee his success.

according to the article, since july 1st 2000 there has been 7549 civil unions and by the end of 2004 there have been 78 dissolutions. my dad didn't send me to math school but i believe that is barely over 1%. i don't know what the "dissolution" rate would be for str8 marriages over a 3.5 year period, but i have always heard that its around 50%. i just don't know what the time frame is for the 50% rate. does anyone know what the percentage would be for the same 3.5 year period?

"...i believe that is barely over 1%."
Yep... but everyone's been living together for several years plus guys aren't as anxious to tie the knots as gals so probably 3/4+ are gals??
The first one for the UK ended in death the very next day! For heteros doesn't that only happens when a young gal marries an old geezer for his money?
Too early to compare stats with heteros?

Sounds like typical Peterson behavior

"Sounds like typical Peterson behavior"
Shouldn't that be 'Peterdaughter?"

Sadly,
With Gay Marriages or Civil Unions, like our hetero sexual counterparts, there is gay divorce....
...Lawyers will now have a new growth industry :-)

Perhaps more lawyers will be women... is that a good thing?
Fewer lawyers would be a good thing...
Much fewer would be a great thing!
Please don't sue me... all of wealth is tied up in beautiful golden robes and golden palaces!

True it is, that gay marriages might just last longer because straight guys don't really want to go through with it - i.e., yoking to the GF - to begin with. I have in my time witnessed hundreds of straight ceremonies/receptions. The bride is invariably joyful, if not hysterical; the groom would really rather be watching a plasma screen at Hooters with his buds.
But, as the brilliant Chris Rock noted, they need to do it. For 'new pussy' will not care for them when they are sick, or hungry.
