Karma. Mass. couple who led fight for gay marriage file for divorce.

This sounds like a queer deal to me.

Look, before we even get into the questionable morality of this issue, my main concern is the concept of legislating from the bench.

This is not a Constitutional issue. The fact is that, just like me, either of these women were entitle to marry and raise a family under precisely the same circumstances as I am. Like me, they are not entitled to marry someone of the same gender.

Since their right is precisely the same as mine, this is not even an issue of discrimination... thus, the Constitutional aspect doesn't come into play.

But they found a leftist court willing to twist the law to get what they want, while simultaneously silencing the people of the state on the question as to whether or not they want this "right" extended.

Actually, it's not unlike the Taliban City Council of Vancouver suing the people into silence on the matter of downtown redevelopment and the tax-subsidized Pollard Hilton.

Clearly, what goes around, comes around. And this marriage, which lasted, relatively speaking, about 60 seconds is that. It's going to be interesting to see how the issues of "spousal support" (alimony) and child support play out.

I look forward to the outcome, and the realization that, perhaps, there truly is much more to the wanting then their is to the having.

"They went through an heroic battle on behalf of all of us in the state, and as a result of their willingness to participate in it, their relationship suffered in significant ways, but we all benefited at the end of the day," said Arline Isaacson, of the Massachusetts Gay and Lesbian Political Caucus.

Family lawyer Ed Dombroski said the divorce is more symbolic than legally significant.
