Want more proof that gays and lesbians deserve full and equal marriage? We fuck up our relationships just as much as heteros do! That’s right, the very first same-sex couple to receive a Vermont civil union are going the way of Nick Lachey and Jessica Simpson.

Lesbians Carolyn Conrad and Kathleen Peterson ended their five-year civil union and ten year relationship at the Battleboro Town Court.

"All I want to say is that the civil union was a big source of pride for me and now it's not," Peterson said Wednesday night.

We at Queerty wish the gals all the best. The making history part, it turns out, was easy but the making it work part, well, we all know that’s hard. Even for quick to commit dykes.
