The first openly gay bishop in the Anglican church has announced
he is divorcing his husband.
Retired Bishop Gene
Robinson announced that he is divorcing partner Mark Andrew in an email to the
Diocese of New Hampshire Saturday and an article for The Daily Beast.
The coupled entered into
a civil union in 2008 that converted to a marriage when New Hampshire legalized
gay marriage in 2010.
His election in 2003 as
the first openly gay bishop in the Anglican church created an international
uproar and led conservative Episcopalians to break away from the main church in
the United States.
