Gov. David A. Paterson has directed all state agencies to begin to revise their policies and regulations to recognize same-sex marriages performed in other jurisdictions, like Massachusetts, California and Canada.
In a directive issued on May 14, the governor’s legal counsel, David Nocenti, instructed the agencies that gay couples married elsewhere “should be afforded the same recognition as any other legally performed union.”
The revisions are most likely to involve as many as 1,300 statutes and regulations in New York governing everything from joint filing of income tax returns to transferring fishing licenses between spouses.
In a videotaped message given to gay community leaders at a dinner on May 17, Mr. Paterson described the move as “a strong step toward marriage equality.” And people on both sides of the issue said it moved the state closer to fully legalizing same-sex unions in this state.
[...]
Massachusetts and California are the only states that have legalized gay marriage, while others, including New Jersey and Vermont, allow civil unions. Forty-one states have laws limiting marriage as a union between a man and a woman.
Legal experts said Mr. Paterson’s decision would make New York the only state that did not itself allow gay marriage but fully recognized same-sex unions entered into elsewhere.
[...]
The appeals court said that New York must recognize marriages performed in other states that allow the practice and in countries that permit it, like Canada and Spain.

I liked your post, Raine. I never really understood how the Defense of Marriage Act could trump the Privileges and Immunities Clause of the Constitution.

Honestly, I do not either, It seems as tho it was legitimate, until we started finding ourselves with states that decided to institute thier own rights. DOMA technically imo, was never constitutional, now it seems as tho we finally have proof for it to be overturned.
What we need is for a supreme court that actually will do so...

I've listened to liberal programming exclusively over the internet, except for that brief period when we had a low-wattage AM station in Boston.
Of course, we still get Rush on 850am (same station as the Red Sox, imagine my horror!), and Michael Savage and Jay Severin on WTKK (FM).

I would LOVE to see pictures like that with the word FOX instead. This comes down to knowing the enemy, somewhere, MSNBC became the enemy to this campaign and FOX became the ally.
Am I the only one who sees a problem with that?
