ONE OF THE "FIRST" LESBIAN COUPLE TO WED IN CALIFORNIA ARE DIVORCING ALREADY!!

Looks like Wedding Bliss is not for everyone. The supposedly one of the "First" Lesbian couple to marry when California made it legal is already divorcing. Wow!! fast eh??

Same-sex couples are once again making history in Fresno. They got married in June but now at least one couple is seeking a divorce. Two women are believed to be the first-same sex couple in Fresno to file for divorce. They married days after the state legalized gay marriages. Just a few days later, they separated.

Gays and lesbians embraced and celebrated history on June 17, dozens lined up in Fresno to say "I do". Now one couple wants out of marriage. A divorce application was filed in court for two women. They married on June 27, 2008. Then three days later on June 30, 2008, the document indicates they separated. The couple declined to be interviewed citing privacy issues but they checked "irreconcilable differences" on their application.

ABC 30's Legal Analyst Tony Capozzi said while a same-sex divorce in Fresno County is unprecedented, legally it is not significant. Capozzi said, "The fact that it is a same-sex marriage and now a divorce is of no consequence to the court. They're going to be treated as equally as anyone who comes before that court."

Jason Scott and his husband Randy were among the first to marry in Fresno. Scott said the marriage hasn't changed his life. But he fears a few same-sex couples may have rushed and did not fully understand the obligations with marriage. Scott said, "When you get married, you're really basically becoming almost one entity. You're taking on the responsibilities for the other person." [SOURCE]

That's a shame. I guess some people just rush into it not knowing the consequences. But then again, wouldn't you think your life would not change that much now that your married?? Crazyness folks.

CALIFORNIAN PUNKS IN FOR A BIT OF CANDID CAMERA

California: One of Solano County's first married same-sex couples seem to have a pesky problem on their hands. The two lesbians have a rainbow flag outside their home and it has been vandalized several time and nothing is being done about it.

Two weeks after their wedding, vandals drenched the flag in front of Kathryn and Jeani Kayair's home with coffee. They initially thought it was a juvenile prank, but vandals have struck five times in one month, with the attacks escalating from coffee to motor oil.

The couple told CBS 5 that they have not heard anything from Vallejo Police and are forced to report each attack by email, due to the city's recent bankruptcy. [SOURCE]

So what are these two going to do about their problem. They are going to put up cameras to watch over their flag. See if they can catch the culprits themselves.. SNAP!

A HIGH SCHOOL BOARD SUPPORTS BAN ON MARRIAGE IN CALIFORNIA



Ewww.. I Hope people riot this High School. Who does this? Kids are being harassed for their sexual orientation even if they are not gay, so why promote hate?

The Grossmont Union High School District went on record yesterday supporting a November initiative that would ban same-sex marriage in California.

The board voted 4-0 to pass a resolution endorsing Proposition 8, which would amend the state Constitution to recognize marriage only between a man and a woman.

Trustee Richard Hoy abstained.

Several board members urged the board not to vote for the resolution, saying Proposition 8 had nothing to do with education.

Grossmont is believed to be the first public school board in the state to endorse the initiative. Supporters of Proposition 8 argue that the state Supreme Court's action clearing the way for same-sex marriage means students as early as kindergarten will be taught that same-sex marriage is the same as a traditional marriage.

Proposition 8 opponents disagree. [SOURCE]

I remember when I was in High School (Not Even Out) and being treated harshly by others because they thought I was gay. I even dated my best friend, Precillia and even though it settled down a bit, I was still teased.

I am absolutely disgusted with this school and I hate to wish badness on people but.. but.. No.. I will just bite my tongue and move on.. Enough Said!

MORMONS VS. CALIFORNIA = FIGHT!!!

Seems like the Gay Community in California are in for another fight. If its not the politicians, it's the religous groups. This time it's the Mormons... They are rallying for a full force war against gay marriage in California.

"A letter sent to Mormon bishops and signed by church president Thomas S. Monson and his two top counselors calls on Mormons to donate "means and time" to the ballot measure. A note on the letter dated June 20 says it should be read during church services on June 29, but the letter was published Saturday on several Web sites... The LDS church will work with a coalition of churches and other conservative groups that put the California Marriage Protection Act on the Nov. 4 ballot to assure its passage, the letter states. In May, California's Supreme Court overturned a voter-approved ban on same-sex marriage, saying gays could not be denied marriage licenses." [Source]

With all of this fighting over who can marry who, you begin to wonder why our world is falling apart...
