Eight questions regarding same-sex marriage
David Frum at
National Review weighs in with eight solid questions to ask people who are proposing State-based provision for same-sex marraige when no such provision exists on a Federal level or in many other States. The point being:
bq. I ask these questions to drive home this point: Americans may live in states, but they conduct their financial and legal lives in a united country bound by interstate institutions.
bq. If a couple gets married in Massachusetts and that marriage goes truly unrecognized by any entity outside the state – well then the Massachusetts wedding ceremony is just a form of words, as meaningless as the illegal weddings now being performed in San Francisco. If you’re not married outside Massachusetts, then you are not really married inside Massachusetts either.
Well put...
