Re: Couple seeks marriage. Legally: They are Father and Son (!!!!)
Except that it is not because of that legal relation exists. Many state prohibit that, while others don't bother with it. Blood is the only consistent criteria across the states, and that only within one or two steps. Cousins would be three by my counting just so you know where I am coming from.
Am I the only one who read the article long enough to find out they were only "father and son" on paper?
They've been a couple for forty years. They aren't related to each other. It's just another same-sex marriage.
