There are some new considerations in gay marriage.
What I found interesting is that a gay couple I know is planning to get married this weekend. A wonderful couple ... I wish them well.
They will be married in a church and they have already signed a domestic partners agreement. Under California law, effective a few weeks ago, a couple with a domestic partners agreement have ALL the legal rights and obligations of a married couple. (The Mark Leno bill.)
At this point, that seems a model of good sense. Further fighting on this issue would have to be about the only remaining element that distinguishes between a gay church marriage with domestic partners agreement and a straight church marriage with the automatic rights of a domestic partners agreement. Is that a battle worth fighting?
