Philly Home to Nation’s First Gay Divorce Attorneys


If after the Supreme Court’s marriage equality decision last week you booked a quick flight to Vegas, said “I Do” at an Elvis wedding chapel, and are now regretting it, why, you’re in luck: Philadelphia is the home to “Adam VS. Steve,” who bill themselves as “the nation’s first LGBTQ divorce attorneys.”

“Like many LGBTQ community supporters, attorney J. Conor Corcoran celebrated Friday’s Supreme Court decision that upholds marriage equality throughout the United States,” states the press materials for the website. “But proud as he is of the upcoming boom in gay matrimony, Corcoran knows that some of this wedded bliss will end in acrimony. That’s why he has launched a new division of his law practice, devoted entirely to LGBTQ divorce.”

Corcoran claims he’s a “staunch-Democrate and social liberal” who named his new service to poke fun of the homophobic bigots who chant “Adam and Eve, not Adam and Steve.” Oh, and if you are one of those bigots, the firm is “offering specials for straight couples that need to divorce because they believe the sanctity of their marriages have now been compromised.”
