As gays around California celebrate a federal court ruling overturning Prop 8, Robin Tyler and Diane Olson are finding the victory bittersweet. The LA Times reports: The couple pushed for the reversal of Proposition 8 in 2009 by renewing their vows and were lead plaintiffs in the lawsuit that led the state Supreme Court to strike down the same-sex marriage ban that year. "We have a right to civil rights, and we don't have to say, 'If you give it to us we're going to be perfect ... we'll try harder than anybody,' " Tyler told NBCLA. "We're just like anybody else." To date there does not appear to be an accurate tally on how many gay marriages have led to gay divorces.
February 9, 201214 yr Oh my that's unfortunate. I hope they can handle it well. It is always sad when this happens but life moves on.
February 9, 201214 yr I really wish I had trademarked "Gay Divorce Court". I think that will be one of the funniest upcoming TV shows to hit local afternoon television or late night on Logo depending on how the show goes. But that has the potential of being hilarious reality television. But alas, I didn't get the trademark in time because the show is already in the works believe it or not. . .
