The marriage license form change was part of the implementation of the court order that the Mass marriage law should be read as “person 1 and person 2”, rather than “man and woman”.
I suppose one could argue that, even though the court required the state to marry same-sex couples, we should still stick it to them by making one of them identify themselves as the “wife”, but that’s rather childish.
However, if I had been in charge, I would have offered two forms, so those who wanted could use “husband and wife”.
Of course, for all I know that’s how it really is, because without a link I don’t know what the truth is.
Charles, up the thread I posted a link to an article that made it clear to me that Romney took actions the court declared it had no power to demand.
It more or less becomes pointless to discuss these matters if folks dismiss the things we do link.
You are moved to support Romney. I am not, and won’t.
You take care. I honestly don’t have any more time to address this right now.
