Mass. couple who led gay marriage fight to divorce
29 mins ago

BOSTON – A lesbian couple who led the fight for gay marriage in Massachusetts has filed for divorce. Julie and Hillary Goodridge were among seven gay couples who filed a lawsuit that led to a court ruling making Massachusetts the first state to legalize same-sex marriages in 2004. The couple became the public face of the debate in the state and married the first day same-sex marriages became legal.

The divorce case was filed last week in Suffolk Probate and Family Court and was not unexpected. The couple announced they were separating in 2006.

Messages left for the Goodridges were not immediately returned Tuesday.

There should be a strict maximum quota for any and all marriages- like maybe only 10 percent of the people who apply for marriage licenses should be issued same- with which ones determined by lottery.

That way there would not be so many lawyers representing people filing for divorces.
