http://www.nonfamous.com/wp/2006/07/28/meet-the-couples-who-cant-marry-here/ commentary on the world around us, with an effort to keep paranoia at the lowest healthy level Mon, 15 Aug 2011 23:38:23 -0400 http://wordpress.org/?v=2.9.2 hourly 1 http://www.nonfamous.com/wp/2006/07/28/meet-the-couples-who-cant-marry-here/comment-page-1/#comment-17198 Jason Tue, 08 Aug 2006 03:16:39 +0000 http://www.nonfamous.com/wp/2006/07/28/meet-the-couples-who-cant-marry-here/#comment-17198 Great article, Jay & David. Susan couldn't have chosen a better couple to write about. And I agree, the ruling was 5-to-4, with dissents that reflected just how vapid and meaningless the majority decision is. Like Dan Savage recently said in The Stranger, if this pro-creation argument is all they have now, we're basically there. Especially given the recent scientific findings that children aren't any better off in an opposite-sex parent home than a same-sex parent home. The ruling is disappointing in that I want our country, and this state, to be "there" now, but I'm also encouraged to keep believing the majority of this country is starting to see the err of its ways -- and willing, eager even, to act on it.
