[Lnc-business] Gay Marriage - US Supreme Court

[Alicia Mattson]

I also have not yet read the opinion, but from what little I've read in the
news so far, the SCOTUS didn't say government has no business licensing
marriage at all.  Platform plank 1.4 (among other things) says:

"Government does not have the authority to define, license or restrict
personal relationships."

I don't think we can yet say that our position is now the law of the land.
The approach that OAI took is a good one.
