I found this to be interesting:

The lesbian couple whose landmark lawsuit helped Massachusetts become the only state in America where same-sex couples can marry legally have split up, a spokeswoman said on Friday.

Julie and Hillary Goodridge and six other gay and lesbian couples sued Massachusetts for the right to marry and won when the state’s highest court ruled narrowly for them in 2003.

Their suit helped spark a nationwide debate on gay marriage.

The women “are amicably living apart,” Mary Breslauer, a spokeswoman for the couple said. “As always their number one priority is raising their daughter, and like the other plaintiff couples in this case, they made an enormous contribution toward equal marriage. But they are no longer in the public eye, and request that their privacy be respected.“

They have not filed for divorce.

Yet! And not in the public eye? Of course they are in the public eye. No nation in the history of man has every sanctioned the union between the sexes and the judges in this case legislated from the bench and approved these unions. You wanted to force the nation to approve your union and now a court has done so. You forced the public to view your union as acceptable, you forced it out where all the world could see it and now you have to live with the nation and the world saying, “Ha! Just another set of divorced parents, just what the world needed.” (And I’m being mild, I could have said a lot worse because you deserve it.)
