The first same-sex divorce in Louisiana was granted about two hours before the first legally sanctioned same-sex wedding took place.

Two New Orleans women, Anna Wellman and Stephanie Baus, who married in Massachusetts in 2008, made bittersweet history by filing for divorce in Orleans Parish Civil District Court on Friday (June 26) -- something they couldn't have done before the U.S. Supreme Court's ruling last week because Louisiana law did not recognize same-sex weddings performed out of state.

The divorce was made official Monday in a proceeding that lasted just minutes and concluded before 11 a.m., without the fanfare and media attention of the wedding ceremony that would take place shortly before 1 p.m. in another courtroom, Judge Paulette Irons said Tuesday.

Hate to see a marriage get scissored like that.

Cause that would portray gay marriage as not being all rainbows and fairy dust.

It's going to be fun to watch.

Community property laws, retirement plans, divorces, spousal rights under estate plans, custody battles...

Every positive has its negative counterpart.
