From "Glee" to the New Reality TV Series: "Gay Divorce Court"
Just one month after announcing that she and her wife of three years, Dr. Lara Embry, are going their separate ways. Jane Lynch has officially filed for divorce in an L.A. County Court.... According to the legal documents, the couple did not have a prenup, and will therefore split their marital assets 50/50. The pair have no children together. Lynch is also filing to terminate the court's jurisdiction to award Embry with spousal support.

She's an actress. It's all about attention and no commitment. Gay and marriage are not compatible.

FM, I'm impressed. Articulate and appropriate adjective.
All these folks, gettin' up on their hind legs, they want this and they want that. Everybody gets just about what they want. It's just, they don't recognize it, they get it. It doesn't look the same as what they had in mind.
Hmph. Schwülen.

Actually, the Dr. is leaving because she thought that she had married Ellen DeGeneres. Imagine her surprise.

See, the sanctity of marriage has been upheld.

Bill, as with any marriage, the one that doesn't deserve it.

Uh, I was under the opinion that gay marriage was not legally recognized in California three years ago. Were they married somewhere like Massachusetts and had to wait for the Supreme Court decision on Prop 8 before they could divorce? Inquiring minds want to know.

Thought these 'special' people were gonna show the stupid heterosexual people what commitment was all about?

No Bon, they wanted to be equal. In order to be equal they have to get divorced at the same rate as heterosexuals.

Early adopters blaze the path for everyone else, but it's a tough job to lead into the future. I reckon they found out it's more work than they were prepared for. I take no schadenfreude, divorce sucks big-time, and I don't wish it on anyone.
Funny thing about marriage. It's more complicated than a civil union, domestic partnership, whatever, because of the supposed lifetime goal, the total emotional commitment to each other. Most people learn that expectation early in life, thru their families, their churches, neighbors and relatives. Nobody wants to see a marriage break up, especially one with kids and grandkids. I think people will find that's it's a lot harder to disentangle from a marriage than a civil union. Without the glue of grandparents, parents, and children, it'll be a lot easier to decide to head towards Splitsville. Fact is, we expect more from marriage, and we know marriage is harder. We're gonna see some interesting times.

Messr. Fleming, never give on schadenfreude. That's one of the greatest feelings in the world.
When homo-marriage arrives in Vegas, the 'Chapels' will be decorated like bathhouses and carpet bars.

The average lesbian relationship is about 2 years, The average gay male relationship is about 7 minutes--okay, maybe two weeks.

Ciao a tutti, spero che tutti stanno bene! Pubblicato il mio primo topic qui, oggi, probabilmente nel posto sbagliato, lol. Mi si nascondono qua e là e appartengo ad alcuni siti, ho pensato che il tempo per rendere questo uno dei loro. Grazie per avere questo posto qui che io e gli altri possono godere e beneficiare.

Ik denk youve maakte een aantal echt interessante punten. Ook niet veel mensen zouden echt denken over dit de manier waarop je net deed. Im eigenlijk de indruk dat theres zo veel over dit onderwerp thats blootgelegd en je deed het zo goed, met zo veel klasse. Goed 1 je, man! Zeker fantastische dingen hier.

Lo que yo no daría por tener un debate con usted acerca de esto. Usted acaba de decir tantas cosas que llegan de la nada que Im bastante seguro Id tienen una oportunidad justa. Tu blog es bueno visualmente, me refiero a la gente no se aburran. Pero otros que pueden ver más allá de los vídeos y la disposición no será tan impresionados con su comprensión genérica de este tema.
