Now that three provinces and one territory allow gays and lesbians to wed, I think its only a matter of time until the rest of them do as well. Yet you would think if they were going to allow same-sex marriages, they would have thought about allowing same-sex divorces too!
Apparently two women in Toronto are seeking a divorce, but the Divorce Act still defines “spouse” as “of a man or woman who are married to each other”. So after a five day marriage (kinda kills the whole “same-sex marriage is going to work because they have been waiting forever to get hitched” argument) the two women, who had been in a relationship for 10 years before tying the knot, are stuck together.
Is it just me, or did the governments make a big mistake here? And why are the women only referred to as “M.M.” and “J.H.”? Do lesbians not have names? And why do these women want to separate anyways? Did it take five days of marriage for them to realize they cannot have children together?
Anyway, its a good time to be a divorce lawyer – the floodgates will open soon enough!

The women are referred to "M.M" and "J.H." because they don’t want the ridicule of being the first gay couple to get divorced/setting a legal precedent.
If you can’t walk the walk, don’t start down the path. I don’t buy your argument Shermie. If they are so proud to proclaim they should be allowed to get married and make a big ruckus, they should have the guts to admit they made a mistake.
