Restoring The 1913 Ban

Christianists have succeeded in getting an initiative on the Massachusetts ballot this fall, reinstating the 1913 law, inspired by fears of miscegenation, that bars out of staters getting married in the Commonwealth, if their own state doesn't recognize such marriages. Meanwhile, Christianists in Arkansas have put an initiative on the ballot, preventing children from being adopted or placed in foster homes by gay couples.

[Correction: They have merely been given legal permission (which is actually a formality) to gather signatures for a possible 2010 ballot measure. Apologies.]
