"Legal Incidents" Clause Stirs Debate

The News Star reports on the proposed constitutional amendment that seeks to ban same-sex marriages. In addition to banning such marriages, the amendment also has a clause that prevents "the legal incidents" of marriage from flowing to same-sex unions. The language of the amendment, which has passed both the house and senate, raises an issue as to whether some legal arrangements entered into by same-sex couples will be valid.
