After Same-Sex Marriage, Same-Sex Divorce?

Although the rights for same-sex couples to marry may not extend to all states of the USA at the moment, there are still questions arising from the topic which will be discussed even in the states where same sex marriage is not permitted. Once the first state allowed same-sex marriage - Massachusetts in 2004, it will not have taken long for the first joke to be cracked about equal divorce rights for same sex couples. It is a fact that, just as opposite-sex couples split up and occasionally divorce, so the same happens in same sex relationships. And where same sex couples can marry, they may also get divorced.
