In this morning's entry at EqualityOnTrial.com, I found this link.
One state legislator is already thinking about making a distinction between same-sex marriages and other marriages in adoption cases. Rep. Kraig Powell Monday raised the question of the parental rights of a biological father when the mother is in a same-sex marriage, and he brought up the term "pairage" as a possible way to distinguish between the same-sex and opposite-sex marriage.
I really don't know what Mr. Powell is thinking. Having disposed of civil unions and domestic partnerships, not to mention "separate but equal" in terms of access to education, does he think this will lead to anything other than a new and successful legal challenge? Republicans are supposed to be the party of fiscal responsibility--or at least that's what I thought. How does guaranteeing a long and expensive court battle over an issue that has already been settled possibly comport with that?
