Kentucky?

The article said this took place in Kentucky. Kentucky has Marriage being defined as one man and one women in the state Constitution (2004 Amendment 1). There frankly aren't many states in the Union where state law is *less* accepting of same-sex marriage than Kentucky.

I wish them luck, but Kentucky isn't even a state that I'd want to try to use as a test case on marriage equality. Kentucky *may* allow marriage equality before Utah, but I'm not betting either way.

Unless I missed it in the article I don't think they're trying to make a case for marriage. They just want to formalize their love and commitment to each other like any other couple. I don't mind a couple someone married before the law behind it.

I've noticed the trend of calling them commitment ceremonies has gone out of style - thank goodness!
