7 states may have outlaw gay marriage on the ballot on Nov 04

Funny how Arkansas, Louisiana, Ohio, Oregon, Missouri, Michigan and Minnesota will likely all vote on gay marriage on the November ballots.

I wonder if our media will ever note that this is a Rove move get a large turnout among socially conservative voters?

By the way - In Mass the GOP Gov has backed off the no out of state gay marriages without Mass residency document concept. It was pointed out that non-gay marriage folks do not have such a requirement - they just attest to intending to living in Mass.

So while Massachusetts GOP officials continue to assert that they won't grant marriage licenses issued to same-sex couples from out of state, they agree such couples don't have to provide proof of residency - they just need to assert the intention to stay in Mass -

and, the last I heard, it probably won't be as the state Senate may be able to block it. The proposed Constitutional amendment in Minnesota is espescially nasty as it also outlaws civil unions.

I thought it interesting that the legal types had it correct 3 weeks ago re ability to stop things in Mass via the 1913 Law - namely - that Mass was an "intent" state so it was all just playing to the GOP Gov's right wing Base.

I doubt it'll get through the Senate. The House isn't taking much action on it either.

They have to provide a Massachusetts address, but they don't have to have proof they are living there. Just how I read it. Easy to bypass anyway, just get a friend to forward your mail
