Gay Divorce

NPR | By Tovia Smith

Published November 6, 2002 at 10:00 PM MST

While more states are banning gay marriages, more gay couples are living together long-term. More are also splitting up. NPR's Tovia Smith reports on the travails of gay couples in long-term relationships who split up -- with no legal referee to guide decisions of property rights and child custody.
