Washington Marriage License Plan Has Some Scared
Fox legal analyst fears "big anthropological change"
It's been less than a month since Washington state's historic marriage equality victory, but a number of conservative pundits have yet to come to terms with the decision.
Among those who continue to decry the vote is Fox legal analyst Peter Johnson, Jr., who fears the state's plan to make its marriage licenses gender-neutral with the terms "Spouse A" and "Spouse B" in place of "bride" and "groom" will have "a tremendous, tremendous impact" on how "children understand relationships between parents, between husband and wife, between mother and father."
