Quotable

Maine last week became the fifth state in the United States to legalize gay marriage. For gay individuals who have changed genders before or after they got married to a person of the same sex (yes, strange as it may sound, these things happen), the gender law is still a work in progress as this quote from a lawyer for a transgendered plaintiff shows...

“Taking this situation to its logical conclusion, Mrs. Littleton, while in San Antonio, Tex., is a male and has a void marriage; as she travels to Houston, Tex., and enters federal property, she is female and a widow; upon traveling to Kentucky she is female and a widow; but, upon entering Ohio, she is once again male and prohibited from marriage; entering Connecticut, she is again female and may marry; if her travel takes her north to Vermont, she is male and may marry a female; if instead she travels south to New Jersey, she may marry a male.”
