Somerville and gay marriage

[georgy.livejournal.com]

According to WBZ-AM 1030 this morning, Somerville is going to be one of the town's that doesn't give a rat's ass about residency come May 17 and the legalization of gay marriage, joining the ranks of P-town and Cambridge (Boston seems to have wussed out). So people can come and get married with no questions or hassle.

Hooray!

oh yeah... I"m not saying that all states will invoke a DOMA but MA, although if memory serves me right 38 already have (although the constitutionality of DOMAs is up to alot of debate as well and I would not be amazed if you start seeing many of them fall over the next few years), but those who do not have DOMAs or even those who have them but still will accept out of state marriage liscenses, more power to them!

Thanks for looking on the bright side, though. Somebody has to!

i was talking about the federal DOMA, alas. and yes, i agree completely that it's unconstitutional; it just hasn't been tested in court yet. :)
