Yes Sol, but as I said somewhere upthread, gay civil unions - indeed civil marriages between straights are contracts. Under under our system interstate compacts require that a contract that is valid and enforceable in State A must be enforced by a judge in State B.

Yes, and as more states are added to the same-sex column, I can see those states that haven’t become pariahs, so to speak. I have a gut feeling that California’s Supreme Court is going to throw out Prop 8’s results. I believe its decision is coming within a few weeks.
