GAY MARRIAGE….Based on what I’ve read about “full faith and credit” I have my doubts that the Massachusetts decision to allow gay marriage will have any effect on the rest of the country. However, it will provide endless opportunities for Stanley Kurtz and John Derbyshire to write stupid but entertaining articles on the subject. In fact, the Derb has already started. In an effort to sound like a precocious Sunday School student, he poses two important questions today in The Corner:
1. If “gay marriage” is legalized, will prisoners be able to marry their cell mates? If not, why not?
2. In many jurisdictions, a marriage can be annulled if it has not been consummated. What, exactly, constitutes “consummation” of a gay marriage?
Answers:
1. No, but they will be allowed to marry their guards.
2. You don’t want to know. Really.
Expect further panic over the end of western civilization tomorrow, along with questions about whether Adam had a belly button and who Cain and Abel married.
