New Mexico Couples can Marry in Mass.
State: Gay people from New Mexico can marry in Massachusetts - Local Politics - BostonHerald.com

Quote:
BOSTON - Gay couples from New Mexico can marry in Massachusetts because their home state has not explicitly banned same-sex marriage, according to Massachusetts records officials.
New Mexico joins Rhode Island as the only states whose gay residents are allowed to marry in Massachusetts, the only state that allows same-sex marriage.
In a July 18 notice, city and town clerks were instructed by Stanley Nyberg, Massachusetts’ Registrar of Vital Records, to give marriage licenses to gay couples from New Mexico.
"Effective immediately, Intentions to Marry completed by same sex couples who seek licenses to marry in Massachusetts may be accepted," the notice read. "Under applicable Massachusetts law ..., New Mexico’s laws do not prohibit marriage between parties."

The very fact that the law which they use to prevent most states' citizens from a "gay marriage" in Massachusetts was created for use WITH MISCEGENATION LAWS demonstrates yet another analogy in this whole mess.

It's a little bizarre that it took them this long to admit that the Massachusetts' restriction doesn't apply to New Mexico, unless you're pessimistic about anti-gay discrimination...

Equality takes another small step forward.

But what a crazy (and pointless) patchwork of laws we are creating on this issue.

But will homosexual "marriage" be legally recognised in New Mexico?

I think that the current attorney general will approve considering the wording of the law.
