Melissa Etheridge to Deny Support to Ex Partner Tammy Lynn Michaels

I wrote back in April that I suspected that the gay divorce of Melissa Etheridge would force Etheridge to deny that there was ever a gay marriage in the first place. Since there is no such thing as gay marriage in California, there can be no such thing as gay divorce. Otherwise, you would have to pay half your stuff to your gay ex lover. Etheridge has filed for a “dissolution of partnership” that includes no financial support to her ex.

From TMZ here:

Melissa Etheridge has just filed legal documents with the court to formally end her relationship with Tammy Lynn Michaels.

Etheridge and Michaels were registered as domestic partners in California. They had a commitment ceremony back in 2003. There were reports they tried to legally marry in 2008 — during the time when same-sex marriages were permitted in CA — but they missed the window.

Etheridge is asking for joint custody of the couple’s two children. Their twins were born in 2006, after Tammy was artificially inseminated by an anonymous donor.

Ethridge is also asking the judge to reject any possible bid by Tammy to get financial support.

I still think the kids should go to the father. Melissa is trying to compete with NBA players to see how many kids she can leave with single moms.
