gay marriage for angry straight men

Awesome. A recent court ruling in Orange County (LA in that country known as the United States of America) has stated that a gay couple who had registered as domestic partners and use 1 surname are still only co-habiting. This ruling meant that the man who initiated the court case still had to continue paying the monthly alimony to one of the aforementioned couple, his ex-wife. Gold. Let's see how long before gay-couples are suddenly legally offered the ability to be as unhappy as straights.

Alimony provides a same-sex union test (LATimes.com - July 22, 2007)

quote for the day:
The Massachusetts court decision to allow gay marriages this week may prove to be a divisive issue in the upcoming presidential election. President Bush is likely torn because he has to protect what he sees as a sacred institution and yet he knows gay marriage would boost the economy because you know those gay guys would go all out. We're talking about designer wedding cakes, $20,000 sleeveless tuxedos, giant naked man ice sculptures that pee mojitos. They'd hire Pattie La Belle as the band, give out African parrots as party favors. It'd be ridiculous. Remember, whatever your political beliefs, a vote to allow gay marriage is a vote for a fabulous economy.
