Intolerance, Redux

Mitt Romney, the governmer of the Massachusetts, apparently horrified that his state has become the first in the nation to sanction and perform gay marriages, is now strictly enforcing a moldy old 1913 law that proscribes marriages for out-of-state couples whose home states would not have allowed them to get married. This effectively bans non-Massachusetts non-heterosexuals from taking their vows in Massachusetts.

The law was originally intended to discourage interracial marriage. I think that says it all.
