We're just one week away from the start of marriage in New Jersey, but there's still a chance it could be delayed at the last minute. We have a date for the next step in a Pennsylvania lawsuit. And Illinois lawmakers could consider a marriage bill as early as next week.

(Marriage News Watch) New Federal Rules for Recognizing Marriages!
w/ Matt Baume
Marriage may return to Pennsylvania, despite a ruling two weeks ago that put licenses on hold. Organizers in North Carolina are mounting a challenge to the state's marriage ban, but first they need to find a clerk willing to challenge the law. Plus new guidance from the Labor Department means benefit plans must recognize marriages in every single state.

(Marriage News Watch) Marriage Lawsuits Keep Piling Up!
W/ Matt Baume
The lawsuits are piling up in Pennsylvania, where a judge has put marriages on an indefinite hold. It'll be at least a month and a half before the New Mexico Supreme Court will decide whether the state can issue marriage licenses. And the New Mexico clerk who first issued licenses has started a fundraising campaign -- he now needs tens of thousands of dollars to defend against an anti-gay lawsuit.

(Marriage News Watch) New Mexico Sets Date for Marriage Hearing!
Marriage continues to expand one county at a time in New Mexico, and one couple at a time in Ohio. But a state Supreme Court ruling may soon change all that. We had oral arguments in Pennsylvania, there's a new southern lawsuit, and a controversial voter initiative in Arizona seems to have died before it could make it to the ballot.

(MY View) The Never-Ending Hypocrisy of Hiding Behind the Bible on Gay Marriage!
The longstanding reason for shoving the courts, the federal government and the states into private relations between consenting adults of the same sex is the Bible. There are those two infamous and interminably cited passages in Leviticus -- 18:22 and 20:13 -- that deem a man "lying with" another man "detestable." Then there's Romans 1:26-27, which castigates men for doing "shameful acts" with other men.
According to these passages, the offenders must be put to death. The only fair thing about this is that today, that part is not frequently cited. That would be murder, which bumps up against U.S. law. But the first part is often cited and taken literally. It's written in the Bible, after all. But then why take one passage of the Bible so literally and not others? A little consistency would do much to appease the critics who decry the hypocrisy of cherry-picking passages from the Bible to justify personal hatred of gays or an anti-gay-marriage political agenda.
