Equality

A same-sex couple who were married in Fresno County on June 27 -- just 10 days after county clerks in California started issuing marriage licenses for gay and lesbian couples -- has filed for divorce.

The couple, Theresa Ramirez and Adelita Guajardo, are among more than 100 same-sex couples who applied for a marriage license in the county since June.

Three days after their marriage, Ramirez filed for divorce, court records show. The court petition says there were "irreconcilable differences" between her and Guajardo.

Now, since California made it so that same sex couples could get married, apply the same draconian divorce laws to these two women.  Force one to pay for the other's alimony because she's "grown accustomed" to the lifestyle.

Make them divvy up assets like everyone else.  If there's children involved, they've got to fork over more money.

I'm all for equality in allowing gay folks to get married, but they've got to take the good with the bad.
