It's a moot point anyway. No citizen of this country can legally marry a member of the same sex.

OK. I'll bite. It is currently legal in Massachusetts (for Mass residents, anyway.) The Mass Supreme Court greatly over-stepped its bounds in ramming gay marriage down the citizens' throats, by making law it has no power to make.

But as it stands in Massachusetts, gay people can and do get married, with all the attendant legal rights and privileges arising therefrom.

So what do you mean that no citizen of this country can legally marry a member of the same sex.

What my point was is that no one group has any more rights related to marriage than any other group, except maybe in Massachusetts. Up until the MA courts had to get all activist, my statement would have been correct, so roll with me on this. :)

Admittedly, I am not familiar with the inner-workings of the new MA laws. I'm not sure what this means for heterosexual same-sex couples who want to take avatage of it.
