Because DoMA wasn't bad enough...
"WASHINGTON, July 30 - President Bush said today that federal government lawyers are working on legislation that would define marriage as a union between a man and woman."
So much for states' rights, let alone recognizing other countries' laws.... though really, people who really want to reap government benefits for their relationships should just incorporate. There's no restriction on gender or number of people involved in a limited-liability corporation, either... and the law says it's a person. I know that's oversimplifying things grossly, but on the other hand it merges two of my hot-button issues in a gloriously perverse way. If loopholes in corporate law could take down both marriage discrimination and corporate personhood, that would pretty much make my day, yep.
I fuckin' hate the law, but stuff like this makes me wish I knew more about it. Grumblegrump.
