This thread got me to thinking about a few things.
I am not married, nor have I ever been, but I know that in our quest to find equality of the sexes, divorce courts in no way practice in the equality of a man and woman when it comes to splitting up. You all hear the stories of how a man loses his house and has to pay more than his fair share of support for the woman. Not saying this is true in all cases, but in general, men have had the short end of the stick.
Now, what happens with same sex marraiges? This brings up a whole new set of rules that need to be applied when a couple splits up, or new rules if they have adopted and one party is seeking custody of said child. It seems kind of ironic to me that the only equality that can be reached in a divorce court is because a same sex marraige is ending. I dunno, just rambling now.....
