I think there are other towns, other countries, where gay folks have gotten married and divorced.

But Rush is in California, and the "gay marriage poster couple" couple are divorcing after 3 years. That's rather sad.

Gay Marriage Poster Couple Divorces
RUSH: Other California news out there. We try to keep you posted on things that we discover while we are on location. Did you see that the poster couple for gay marriage in California are getting a divorce? You see that? It's true. It's two women, they were among the first 14 same-sex couples who got married on the day the ban was lifted in California back in June of 2008. I guess the national average, three-and-a-half years, is what their marriage lasted, maybe it's the California average. I'm not sure. But I wonder if they designated one of them the husband so that he gets all the blame and has to pay all the alimony. How does that work? I wonder if we'll find out as the news covers this groundbreaking event, the first divorce of the first gay marriage couple.
