San Francisco authorities, in defiance of California law, have registered a marriage between a 83-year-old and 79-year-old lesbians. "But what about the children?" - ask religious groups.
Massachusetts Constitutional Convention has tried to pass 3 amendements to ban gay marriages within 2 days, failed, and is promising to reconvene again in March. Well, at least they are doing something for taxpayer's money.
I really should go to some library that has American newspapers from 1967 and look up people's opinions on Loving vs. Virginia (the case where the Supreme Court decided that states may not ban interracial marriage). I am sure that all the arguments that are made against gay marriages now were made then, too.
All in all, it looks like we are gonna be the first state in the US to legalize gay marriage. Go Massachusetts! In the undying words of one Boston Globe reader back when the court made its decision: "Hey, we beat California!"
