BOSTON – A lesbian couple who led the fight for gay marriage in Massachusetts 
has filed for divorce. Julie and Hillary Goodridge were among seven gay couples 
who filed a lawsuit that led to a court ruling making Massachusetts the first 
state to legalize same-sex marriages in 2004. 20The couple became the public 
face of the debate in the state and married the first day same-sex marriages 
became legal.

The divorce case was filed last week in Suffolk Probate and Family Court and 
was not unexpected. The couple announced they were separating in 2006.

Messages left for the Goodridges were not immediately returned Tuesday.

g_b New York should recognize out-of- state gay marriages, judge sez

 New York should recognize out-of- state gay marriages, judge sez

BY JOSE MARTINEZ
DAILY NEWS STAFF WRITER

Tuesday, February 3rd 2009, 5:54 PM
 Same-sex marriages that are valid elsewhere should be recognized under New
York http://www.nydailynews.com/topics/New+York law, a city judge has
ruled, clearing the way for a
Manhattanhttp://www.nydailynews.com/topics/Manhattanman to inherit
the multi-million dollar estate of his late husband.

Manhattan Surrogate Judge Kristin Booth Glen ruled that Craig
Leibyhttp://www.nydailynews.com/topics/Craig+Leibyis the surviving
spouse and sole distributee of longtime partner Kenneth
Ranftle http://www.nydailynews.com/topics/Kenneth+Ranftle, who died only a
few months after the couple's wedding last year in
Montrealhttp://www.nydailynews.com/topics/Montreal,
where same-sex marriage is legal.

Glen's Jan. 26 ruling is the first by a New York judge that recognizes the
right of a gay person to inherit a partner's estate.

This is a very important step forward, said Erica
Bellhttp://www.nydailynews.com/topics/Erica+Bell,
a lawyer for Ranftle's estate. Marriage is a big step for same-sex couples,
just as it is for anyone, but these couples should know that it has very
real meaning.

Ranftle's will left the bulk of his fortune to Leiby, 54, his partner of
nearly 20 years. The couple, who lived in Manhattan, also had homes in
Canada http://www.nydailynews.com/topics/Canada,
Floridahttp://www.nydailynews.com/topics/Floridaand Fire
Island http://www.nydailynews.com/topics/Fire+Island.

They were big supporters of all the gay-rights organizations, which makes
this a really fitting memorial tribute to \[Ranftle\], Bell said.

The ruling also said Ranftle's three surviving brothers did not have to be
made aware of probate proceedings, since they were not legal heirs under New
York law.

The siblings were not contesting the will.

They have a very supportive and loving family, Bell said.

Ranftle, a 65-year-old former
IBMhttp://www.nydailynews.com/topics/IBM+Corporationexecutive, died
of a heart attack last November after battling lung cancer.
