As several of you know very well, Kate and I were married five years ago in Massachusetts, near where her family lives. Which, of course, means that our marriage was totally cheapened and rendered meaningless by today's vote against an anti-gay-marriage amendment to the state constitution.
Or-- wait, let me check-- no, no it wasn't. Nope, pretty much still happily married, and happy to be married. And probably happier than ever to have been married in the Commonwealth of Massachusetts.
Some horse trading was apparently required to get the votes lined up, but the Legislature eventually managed to do the right thing. Good show, guys.
Now, get with the program, New York.

Heh.
No, you've got it all backwards-- we're hoarding divorce for the straight people. Because, you know, it's so much fun...
I am a little confused- I understood that anyone can get married anywhere? There is no law of any kind saying otherwise.
Now, get with the program, New York.
Absolutely. I was *bitterly* disappointed in the New York decision for at least three different reasons, some of which it would not be professional to discuss. I hope that the legislature can remedy that.
Dave @ #3: You can't be serious.
Why- are you ?
Congratulations! OTOH:
An Anthropologist told me that the dominant Kinship relation in the contemporary USA is divorce.
