Massachusetts to consider allowing out of staters to marry

Posted by patriot on July 13th, 2008

No doubt some will start planning a road trip:

Lawmakers in Massachusetts are resurrecting a once-abandoned bill that would allow out-of-state duos to visit, obtain a Massachusetts “marriage” and then return home and create “havoc” with it, according to a pro-family organization.

“This bill would destabilize the Massachusetts marriage laws,” wrote Brian Camenker in his Mass Resistance alert on the issue. “Currently no out-of-state couple can get ‘married’ in Massachusetts if that marriage would not be legal in their home state. This would overturn that law.”

Massachusetts was the first state to allow same-sex duos to obtain a “marriage” license, several years ago. The action followed orders from state officials that county clerks must start issuing those certificates to duos other than the traditional one-man, one-woman couples. That in turn followed a Massachusetts Supreme Court opinion that said such couples could be recognized as “married.”

Buchanan: Post-Christian America

From Pat Buchanan:

“A Victory for Equality and Justice,” blared the headline above the editorial. “Momentous,” “historic,” “a major victory for civil rights,” “a scrupulously fair ruling based on law, precedents and common sense.”

This was the ecstatic reaction of The New York Times to the California Supreme Court’s declaration that homosexuals have a right to marry and have their unions recognized as marriages.

Now there may be hugging around the newsroom at the Times, where one senior writer said, a few years back, three-fourths of the folks who make up the front page are gay. But this is just another streetlight on America’s darkening path to perdition as a society and republic.
