Maybe I could learn to like New York…

[nonethefewer]

An appeals court has ruled that a gay couple's marriage in Canada should be recognized in New York.

"The state Legislature "may decide to prohibit the recognition of same-sex marriages solemnized abroad," the ruling said. "Until it does so, however, such marriages are entitled to recognition in New York."

And here's the ACLU press release on the topic.  This is fantastic!

Oh, hey, and, lookit this:

A[n Oregon] state law allowing gay couples to register as domestic partners belatedly took effect Friday after a federal judge ruled the state's process of disqualifying petition signatures was consistent enough to be valid.

I love waking up to good news.
