Gay couple denied U.S. entry

I suppose it was going to happen sooner or later. A gay couple married in Canada has tried to cross into the United States as a gay married couple. They were turned away and told that the United States does not honor such arrangements.

As one of them said, "When we realized we weren't going to be allowed into the country, we had to make a real hard decision. We could have filled out separate forms, but how much of your dignity do you want to have chip away? We feel we had an affront to our dignity, so we decided to go back home."

It will be interesting to see where this goes. Here, you have our country disallowing a marriage honored by Canada. This is an exception to the rule. We have never questioned before the status of marriage, so any Canadian marriage has been honored.

It's an interesting article, well worth a read.
