Gay-marriage rule eased



| Reddit | Tumblr | Digg | FARK

Actually, it's kind of fascinating that political pressure in Massachusetts is forcing the now-anti-gay* Governor Romney to stop being such an ass. One might have thought that with marriage becoming legal for gay couples in that state on May 17, there might be a bit of a backlash. I certainly didn't expect that Romney would be forced to soften his tone. Can't wait for fundies to react to this:

"Romney administration officials said yesterday that out-of-state gay couples who want to marry in Massachusetts do not have to show documents proving that they live here or plan to move here, a major shift from the governor's earlier stance on enforcing limitations on licensing gay marriage."
* I say "now-anti-gay" because ten years ago, when Romney was running against Ted Kennedy in the Senate race, Romney was stumbling over himself to be more pro-gay than Kennedy. The man's an opportunist. But at least that means that he's equally able to betray the religious right some day if the spirit moves him.
