One-way “respect”
Ron Crews of the Massachusetts Family Institute is quoted in today’s Boston Globe as saying “States should be able to set definitions around marriage, and then one state should respect another state’s definition.”
Why do I get the feeling that the only “respect” he wants is for Massachusetts to deny marriage to same-sex couples from other states, and not for other states to recognize legal Massachusetts same-sex marriages? Since, when he lived in Georgia, he spearheaded their ban on same-sex marriage, I think the answer is pretty clear.
For Ron Crews, “respect” really means “do it my way.”
