Nice of them to try and puts to thumbscrews to her, of course, but by state law it’s not their call...of course, as I read 402.080, these dudes can’t even legally fill out the form unless one decides to go all Bruce Jenner.

But the federal courts believe that they have rendered all such laws nugatory. They believe that they have decreed that any two people otherwise qualified cannot be denied a marriage license on the basis of gender.

Obviously I would differ with that opinion (of the courts), but that's why we are where we are. Interesting use of that phrase 'otherwise qualified', though. Clearly, they aren't qualified, so other than "breathing" and "of age", I would certainly take issue with any representation of a same-sex pair as 'qualified'. But there we go again.
