Gay Marriage in the '80s
An interesting snippet of cultural history.
Requested by a county clerk in San Diego
The state must recognize marriages legally formalized elsewhere
Wasn't this issue settled?
One of them is likely to die soon, and they want to be buried together
Talent goes where it's recognized
Final formality follows approval by House of Commons and House of Lords
Last bid by social conservatives in that state
There's opposition to the idea among British aristocrats?
Fighting for the lost cause
Says it's "misleading"
Requests for tolerance must not become demands for approval.

Didn't read it before they voted for it. President can still veto
The fuzzy logic of the Supreme Court's ruling against the Defense of Marriage Act

Republican governor of a state where gay marriage is popular
Supreme Court ruling on DOMA does not appear to be the next Roe v. Wade.
Will the state with bans recognize marriages from other states?

Wait your turn, there's enough for everybody
Perhaps we shouldn't be afraid of this particular slippery slope
Government neutrality is the best way to ensure fairness and social peace.

Not everybody is ready to live and let live
Equality before the law is still a ways off
