It was inevitable. A lesbian couple, married in Massachusetts, now want a divorce in their home state of Rhode Island. What's the problem? They're only married in Massachusetts, because no other state has defined marriage as anything other than a union between a man and a woman. They could just separate, and as long as they each stay out of Massachusetts, they're "divorced."

Of course, they could also go to Massachusetts, and follow whatever procedure, if any, has been established for dissolution. But, apparently, the problem is money and/or "stuff." Who gets the pots (crock, fondue or smoking), the bundt pan, the play station, the "Mulholland Drive" DVD, the padded toilet seat, the best vibrator, and the cat? You know, the important things in life.
