CA same sex marriages
I didn’t want to get my hopes up too soon over the decision by CA to allow same sex marriages. It looks like next week people will be able to get married for real. Not being there anymore, I am a little out of the loop. I don’t know what the opposition is doing to counter it. I read this interesting article in the NYTimes today. It appears that some county clerks in the more rural or right wing sections of CA are stopping performing marriage ceremonies at all, for both gay and straight couples. They cite budgetary reasons but many suspect it is just so same sex couples will not try to get married there. They cannot prevent them from getting married, but they can make it more complicated. This may be effective but it is surprisingly tame, I guess that is a good sign. Read the full article if you wish.
In France they have their bureaucracy, in the US they have their stupidity.
If only the world would just do as I say, then I’d be really happy about it.
