The attorneys will be busy with this for many years. Same sex marriage will be legal in a few states, I bet. So there will be inevitable lawsuits about :
# 1 will a gay marriage from Mass. or another state have to be legally recognized in another state.
# 2 Does the Federal gov't have to recognize gay marriage, thus overturning the Federal Defense of Marriage Act.
# 3 if forced to recognize gay marriage, will beneits relating to children, such as tax exemptions for dependent children, be ruled unconstitutional because the gay couple, most of who will be childless, don't get such a benefit for dependents?
# 4 If it's discriminatory to define marriage as two people opposite sex, will the same reasoning then be used in the future to legalize polygamy, group marriage, adult child marriages, incest, etc. In other words, where will it be legal to draw the line, legally speaking, if we toss out the concept of monogamous opposite sex marriage?
