1. Come on!

They were together 10 years got married and then separated 5 days later?

Gay people take heed - nothing destroys a good relationship like marriage (just joking).

. . . by being the first to get a divorce.

These are historic times.

Ottawa backs gay divorce

A lesbian couple has gained a powerful ally in its quest for Canada's first same-sex divorce: the federal government.

Less than 24 hours after the couple's divorce petition became public, the justice department conceded that excluding gays and lesbians from the definition of "spouse" in Canada's Divorce Act — effectively denying them the right to divorce — is unconstitutional.
