On gay marriage [Liz Mair]

A reader with more knowledge than I evidently have in the area of Nevada laws relating to prostitution writes in to make the point that Nevada merely allows certain individual counties to license brothels, and does not recognize contracts related to prostitution.  My mistake (I will freely admit that I am no expert in the realm of prostitution law, but a lawyer friend of mine who knows much more about odd areas of the law had indicated to me that prostitution contracts were enforceable in the Silver State-- so a heads up to him).

Nonetheless, I think even if prostitution contracts are not legally enforceable in Nevada, it is logical to think that if that situation were altered, it would not place Utah under a duty to recognize them in its courts, on public policy grounds.  Though that is speculation.
