Thanks A Lot, Justice Kennedy: NOT!

Oppression has positive side effects. Sometimes. Among the advantages of being discriminated against vis-a-vis marriage rights: The law gave many gays and lesbians the perfect excuse for not getting married. Now, thanks to Anthony Kennedy and the other four Supreme Court justices who ruled in favor of same-sex marriage last week, that’s no more. Was it good while it lasted, though?

Among the advantages of being discriminated against vis-a-vis marriage rights, for many gays and lesbians, was having the perfect excuse for not wanting to get married. It wasn't legal. That was that. Thanks to Anthony Kennedy and the other four Supreme Court justices who ruled in favor of same-sex marriage last week, that's no more.

    I wonder.
    I’ve known (heterosexua) couples who lived in harmony for years without marriage; then, when they decided to “tie the knot,” it was only a few months later that they were divorced.
    Is this the norm? Is it to be expected of same-sex marriages?
