Don't take that attitude with me. I am not your enemy.
2nd, if you'd paid any attention to this thread whatsoever, you'd know the reason we don't have it is because we have a fuckwad for a governor.
Our attorney general has made a policy statement that marriages performed in MA are recognized in RI - hasn't been tested in court yet though.
RI marriage equality is waiting for our lame duck shitstain of a governor to be gone.
Pay attention to threads if you're gonna comment and don't attack me.
I've been angered and disheartened and haven't been posting here lately (especially since the gay purge) and I don't really need you jumping all over me. I'm on the same side as you.
Oh yeah - and were the other states 70/30 for? No? Didn't think so.
