I guess there's a wikipedia article for everything! Doesn't say too much though. Of course, she might not have been married to a woman anyways.

Although that's also an interesting question: does it even matter? If the divorce rate of same-sex couples is higher, that shouldn't affect their right to get married. If it's lower, good for them, but in places where you're still trying to legalize same-sex marriage, you probably can't even really use that as an argument since telling opponents they're hypocrites probably isn't the best strategy.

I guess on one hand, I'm a bit curious too and nosy and would like to know. On the other hand, so what, same-sex couples get married, get divorced just like everyone else and I'm not sure pointing out the differences are helpful.

Random relevant factoid: Massachusetts continues to have the lowest (overall) divorce rate in the nation, despite having the longest time to have had same-sex marriage ruin all those straight marriages.

And I also agree with all that Carol says above - interested, but not sure it's helpful to point out...

another factoid: There were no same-sex divorces in Canada in 2004. (There were no same-sex marriages in Canada prior to 2003.)

Peter has taste in the appearance of men? Give me a lineup of a bunch of men, and I have no hope of picking out the ones who women consider attractive, unless the lineup includes George Clooney, Robert Redford, Jimmy Smits, Joe Brautigam, Tom Bruce, and Rick Oliver. But that's just based on cribnotes.

Oops, sorry, corrections to the above: Apparently Richard Gere would be a better choice than Jimmy Smits, and Kevin Costner should probably be added. Also Vytenis Benetis, likely in the #1 slot.
