Kim Kardashian Divorce Makes Her Instant Poster Girl for Gay Marriage

She can get married willy-nilly, but countless gay couples can’t marry for real

Kim Kardashian's mini-marriage became an instant rallying cry among same-sex marriage advocates who pointed out that she was allowed to make a joke of the institution while many gay couples who want lifelong marriages still aren't allowed to wed.

"Kim Kardashian files for divorce after 72 days. Another example of how same-sex marriage is destroying the sanctity of the very institution," joked Geoge Takei on Twitter, expressing the sentiment of many.
