Come May, there may be a federal constitutional amendment rendering Massachusetts' current progress moot.
And many have come to Gavin Newsom's defence: a clerk in New Mexico examined the law and nearly started issuing licenses until she was threatened, Chicago is about 1-minute-to-midnight on issuing licenses, there's a city in upstate NY that is issuing licenses too. It's snowballing, slowly but surely.
I agree that the side that starts it is taking a big risk. It's all fine and dandy to say "well obviously equality will win eventually" but what about the families that don't get equality right now? I worry. At least they can all move to Canada. :)
