...Joyce Kauffman, a member of the Massachusetts Lesbian and Gay Bar Association, said probably more than 100 gay divorces have been granted in Massachusetts, and possibly many more.
She said she suspects the divorce rate among gays is lower than that among heterosexual couples, because many of the same-sex couples who got married in Massachusetts had probably been together for years.
Thats some nice speculation. I never thought about the mess this would make, you get married in one state and then your state doesn't recognize the marriage and therefore cannot dissolve it.
