Quote: A steady stream of divorce papers for homosexual couples are being filed. According to the state Registry of Vital Records, at least 4,266 gay marriage certificates have since been issued, and the first divorces were reported 2 months following the initial ceremonies.

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.

I'm sorry, but :rotf: :rotf:

Obviously you do care as you start two threads on the subject. I doubt anyone is going to bed pissed that they can't marry.Eespecially as

As of September 2005 in the United States, the state of Massachusetts recognizes same-sex marriage, while California, Connecticut, the District of Columbia, Hawaii, Maine, New Jersey and Vermont grant persons in same-sex unions a similar legal status to those in a civil marriage by domestic partnership, civil union or reciprocal beneficiary laws.

All you have been doing is running around your point to prove it right. You haven't even directly proven it. You make a post about gay marriage and criticize people when they don't argue the specific part of what you want them to argue. So just plain out man, PROVE WHY GAY MARRIAGE IS WRONG.[/quote]

Didn't say it is wrong. Gays want to marry, let them go marry.
The government has NO obligation to give its approval, and thats my entire point.

It has been said that 50% of hetero marraiges end in divorce.

Your point is?

I think it is more like 60%. One thing is almost certain in marriage and that is divorce. If you are a guy married to a women be prepared for some hard times.

You know, that whole "50% of marriage end in divorce" line is over-used, and WRONG.

It is based on the fact that, in America, there are roughly half the number of divorces as weddings. If you actually do the math, you find that the "50% thing" is really pretty misleading.

I'd bet good money the divorce % for gays will be higher.
They change partners with much more frequency, and their relationships are much shorter than heterosexuals. and yes, if someboy questions that I will have to dig up the info to back it up.

but I can

Do a better job digging up stats than you did with your gays are more likely to be pedophiles thread, OK?

Divorce was invented by heterosexuals anyway. The whole point is that people have a choice to do as they will. If you let them marry, then they will inevitably divorce.

It's not in human nature to be devoted to one sexual partner their whole life. Religion is trying to replace nature with their own rules. That's fine, but since infidelity in marriages is pretty high (in the 50%'s if I'm not mistaken for both male and female partners) and this country is predominately Christian, then clearly the religious groups have failed to change thousands of years of evolution.

Okay, let's think about it. I'll "make up" numbers, for the sake of illustration.

This year, in my town, there are 500 weddings. There are also 250 divorces. Seems like 50%.

However, there are actually 5,000 married couples living in my town. 250 of them divorce. 250 divorces out of 5,000 couples is not 50%.

Statistics don't lie, but liars constantly use statistics for their own agenda.

Well statistics can be manipulated :lol: Not saying you're wrong though. Looking at it from your POV you're right. I wonder what the last census said about it, if anything.

Well if you could care less, then why are you so against gays getting married? Seems to me if someone "could care less" then they wouldn't care if gays had the right to marry.

Well, the starter can't find it. You know how he feels about threads being moved to where they belong.

A thread about gay divorces following gay marriages. I don't understand the point of it. Straight divorce can follow a straight marriage. So I don't understand the comparison.

Or is it just a cheap shot?
