Gay divorces. No more split the sheets yell a few names at one another and cry then heal some and move on with life. Nope. Fun and games breakups will be the exception once a couple gets legally married. Split ups are now a way to get back at eachother. Judges decide who wins and lawyers stir the pot for longer procedings.
I predict some serious cat fighting and hystrionics when gays get to go full dramatic in front of a courtroom to explain the anguish and pain done to them by the person they are divorcing.. Those that stay married for a lifetime I salute. Those who must divorce... well...I reckon they will say something like "Why the HELL did I ever want to get married?"

Way to steoreotype. You have officially lost any chance of ever gaining my respect.

I personally think a wedding with two brides would be pretty interesting. Mainly cos there'll be twice as many bridesmaids.

I see a flame war coming...

Messy, nasty divorces seems to be the norm for all marriages, so that is not necessarily a gay stereotype.

However, he did mean that gays were prone to histrionics, you would be right.

Many people getting divorces are prone to histrionics drama and worse. Gays are not immune to this. You can read the written equivalent of temper tantrums and histrionics from gays straights and bisexuals of both genders right here on this forum without having to reach page 3.

The most interesting aspect about gay marriage will be...
for me, some traditions...

the Bride is not to be seen before their wedding day by the Groom... so if you have two men, or two women, does this automatically invalidate that? or does one assume that neither can see each other...

then there's the whole stag party thing which is traditionally the Groom's last night of freedom... where they do things that usually doesn't get told to the wife... ever

but would the second Groom now join in? or does he get his own stag party?

for me, some traditions...

The beauty of traditions is that new ones are made every day.

the Bride is not to be seen before their wedding day by the Groom...

I lived with my wife, slept in the same bed with her, spent day to day existence with her for nearly 3 years before we got married.

then there's the whole stag party

I never had one of those. If you believe your last night of bachelorhood to be your last night of freedom, you don't deserve the woman you're marrying. :p

And how exactly is that different from a "straight" couple's divorce?

I think the best/most interesting thing about gay marriages-- and we've had them here in Canada for a little while now, I'm attending my first on at the end of this month (two friends of mine in the RCMP)-- is the latitude for originality. We don't have to follow the model straight people have been using (lord knows there are obviously plenty who'd prefer we didn't), so we can get creative. So the whole notion of "how do they adapt the stuff we're used to seeing in marriages" is moot. We can make something of our own, make it unique and special to us individually instead of trying to have the perfect 'model' wedding.

So sick of these stupid fucking threads.
