    I have a proposal at the federal level that would break this debate over same sex wedding certificates. Couldn't we pass a bill in congress that would deny Social Security benefits to spouses in counties that recognized (not just issued) certificates to any couples not defined as male and female? Any government benefits that are allocated on the basis of marriage should be denied to areas in the United States that make it ambivalent as to what kind of non-traditional unions would recieve them.
