But humans are humans and marriages don't always work out.

I think that many of the pressures in this marriage were due to the backlash against them, which would place them at even higher risk.

But my sadness for them has nothing to do with them being in a same sex-marriage. I simply adore Gene Robinson and feel very sad for him and his husband.
