Wow. 40 years later, story of a same-sex marriage in Colo. remains remarkable

This story has me in tears. I don't know that it tells us anything about how Kennedy will vote.

“I’ve got the license and the faggot letter if you want to look at them,” Anthony Sullivan said cheerfully.

The license shows that Anthony Corbett Sullivan and Richard Frank Adams were married April 21, 1975, in Boulder, Colo., years before others thought two men should be allowed to wed and decades before a majority of Americans would say it was okay with them, too.

The letter is the official response from the U.S. government after Adams informed officials of his nuptials and asked that his new husband, an Australian citizen facing deportation, be extended a spouse’s visa.

Denied, the immigration service said, for the following reason:

“You have failed to establish that a bona fide marital relationship can exist between two faggots.”
