Lesbian R.I. Couple Weds in Mass.

ATTLEBORO, Mass. (AP) - A lesbian couple from Rhode Island that won the right to marry in Massachusetts held their ceremony Sunday.

After being denied a marriage license in Massachusetts, Wendy Becker and Mary Norton challenged a 1913 state law that prohibits out-of-state residents from marrying if the union would not be permitted in their home state.

1. I think RI will recongnize it.

I also believe it will be legalized in NJ within the month.

7. Clearly another sign of the coming Apocalypse!

But at least for today, it's a beautiful sunny autumn day here
in the Boston area, and I assume the weather's about the same
down in Rhode Island. No four horsemen, no fire, no brimstone
falling from the sky, just brightly-colored leaves.

And I note that today's another beautiful day, although it
may be partly cloudy by afternoon -- Clearly, Dog is un-
leashing his awesome wrath on us for this abomination.

More seriously: Anybody want to take bets on how soon
*ALL OF NEW ENGLAND* (save, probably, New Hampshire)
will recognize either gay marriage or civil unions?
I'd bet before 2010.
