First gay celebrity divorce set in action - 19 Jun 2008 - Relationships News - NZ Herald

Quote:

Comedian and Little Britain creator, Matt Lucas, has announced that he is splitting up with his partner of six years after getting "married" in a high-profile civil partnership ceremony 18 months ago.

The couple, who shared a home in north-west London worth 1.5 million pounds, are the first gay celebrity couple to "divorce" since the civil partnership laws were introduced and their split could be seen as a test case.

Some have speculated that Lucas could end up paying his former partner millions of pounds following the break-up.

So there you go, homosexual marriage is just like hetrosexual marriage.

Yup, the good, bad and ugly.
I wonder how many gay couples consider themselves better off in a committed but informal relationship?

I also would hope that folks would not use celebrity relationships as guidelines for "normal" relationships. You know, like taking this case as a benchmark and saying "See?!? It doesn't work!!!" while conveniently ignoring the 60 trillion heterosexual celeb marriages that end in divorce wach week.

Substitute the word 'happy' for the word 'gay' in my post and you might get the joke.

another day: Wow, he is funny!
