Paging Rosa Parks
So, here we are,
test case numero uno for gay marriage.
Of course, the US doesn't have a full faith and credit clause for foreign countries, so there's probably nothing unconstitutional here. However, there just may be one or two words in our diplomatic treaties with Canada about, oh, say, treating their citizens with basic human respect and dignity.
Next move: Canada refuses to acknowledge *any* marriage performed in the US on the grounds that exclusion of gays delegitimizes the entire institution and henceforth forces all married people travelling to Canada to register as "unmarried cohabitants".
Won't happen here, I guess. But it does in *some* universe.
