The Social Security Administration is rejecting marriage documents issued to heterosexual couples in four communities that performed weddings for gay couples earlier this year.
The agency is rejecting all marriage certificates issued in New Paltz, N.Y., after Feb. 27, when the town's mayor began marrying gay couples, according to town officials.

Will this create a backlash?

I think this is awful. I was reading an article about it yesterday. I have a feeling that it is going to cause a lot of bad feelings and resentment towards gay couple from the heterosexual couples who are having to deal with this. What a mess.

>>>I am afraid that it is a move on the part of the federal government to incense the straight population and bring them to the side of anti-gay marriage.<<<
I had the same thought. And they have really played their hand perfectly. When things go wrong, people always want someone to blame for it. And the government has pointed to marriage for gays as being to blame for this.

Will this create a backlash? No, I think it's karma in action. Or more sympathy and support for the gay marriage movement?
Well, I look at it this way, now they know how it feels to be discriminated against, so I would say support. Then what woud Bushhead do? He would be snatched off of Life magazine in a heartbeat, and all of the clergy(the opposing side) would be sooooooo embarrassed, because of the nasty reaction they would get from their parishoners. I'm telling ya, it's coming!
