Same-sex marriage pioneers split up
The lesbian couple whose landmark lawsuit helped Massachusetts become the only state in America where same-sex couples can marry legally have split up, a spokeswoman said Friday.
Julie and Hillary Goodridge and six other gay and lesbian couples sued Massachusetts for the right to marry and won when the state’s highest court ruled narrowly for them in 2003.
Their suit helped spark a nationwide debate on gay marriage.
The women “are amicably living apart,” Mary Breslauer, a spokeswoman for the couple said.
