Attleboro, Mass -- A lesbian couple from Rhode Island who won the right to marry in Massachusetts held their ceremony Sunday.

After being denied a marriage license in Massachusetts, Wendy Becker and Mary Norton challenged a 1913 state law that prohibits out-of-state residents from marrying if the union would not be permitted in their home state.

They argued that same-sex marriage was not specifically banned in Rhode Island. Superior Court Judge Thomas Connolly agreed last month, saying he saw no evidence of a "constitutional amendment, statute, or controlling appellate decision" making same-sex marriage illegal in Rhode Island.

Rhode Island Gov. Don Carcieri, a Republican and a gay marriage opponent, said through a spokesman that he has no plans to try to revise the state's laws.

I'm going to go out on a limb and state that the happy couple is likely anything but cute.

[ECM]

And thank you for confirming that fact mere seconds later :)

You can bet the true Supreme Court of Heaven will NEVER approve same sex fake unions and call it marriage.

The guilty/innocent test for naughty teachers seems to work for lesbians as well.

MY EYES!!!

That North Korean nutcase is testing nukes, and these dykes are worried about THIS?

[Beagle8U]

And with ruling every state without a queer marriage ban on the books will be rushing to pass one asap.

Good job dikes, you set your movement back another 50 years.

Thanks for the picture, it shows why neither could land a man! HAR HAR HAR!

So when they inevitably separate, who gets to keep the vibrator?

[little jeremiah]

Pingout tomorrow.

C-BS4 actually showed footage of 4 repulsive exchanges on the news last night - totally gross to see fat, unattractive women in liplocks... There ought to be a law that says these abhorrent behaviors cannot be televised.

don't you get it? "when it's OK to love whoever you want, then the world will be at peace!"

At least, that's how I remember one line of song by Sam Moore and Paul Rodgers that's getting a little rotation now. That Sammy can sing. Wish he could think, too.

Further proof that lesbianism is an outlet for women that no man would want.

[SirLinksalot]

So, how will Rhode Island consider their marital status after this and how does DOMA apply here ?

[bmwcyle]

Does being a lesbian mean you live with a bad hair day?

So you think the person who made that comment is in favor of lesbianism as long as the lezzies are cute?
