Over 183,000 People Celebrate Antigay Couple's Likely Divorce

Australian Nick Jensen angered many when he penned an op-ed for the Canberra CityNews where he announced he and his wife, Sarah, would divorce if Australia legalizes same-sex marriage (the country will likely vote on the matter by the end of the year).

In response to the Jensen's declaration, another Australian, Jesse Mount, launched a Facebook group to celebrate the couple's divorce. The group plans to celebrate the Jensens' dissolution when Australia finally offers marriage equality. As of Wednesday, over 183,000 have RSVP'd to the "celebration." The page reads:

I invite everyone who supports marriage equality to come celebrate the DIVORCE of Nick & Sarah Jensen!

They have decided that being married together in a country where it's legal for a man and a man to marry, or a woman and a woman, is just too horrible. They'd much rather be divorced and I think we should all support and celebrate in their decision when the date finally does come.

We sure hope there won't be any backing out on their behalf as hundreds upon hundreds of gays and gay rights supporters come to rejoice in the parting ways of these narrow minded citizens which so many of us are ashamed to call Canberrans.
