Matthew Yglesias takes note of the marriage boom in DC following the passage of marriage equality:
The D.C. Superior Court has already issued more than 2,000 marriage licenses.
“To put that in perspective,” Judge William Jackson says. “All of last year was about 3,000.”
Despite volumes of conservative literature urging poor people, particularly poor black people, to "solve" the issue of poverty by simply "getting married," most conservatives would probably applaud the ongoing efforts of the National Organization for Marriage and their DC proxies' ongoing attempts to ensure that these families are, at some point in the future, no longer recognized as such.
