NYT Sunday Styles: Reality of Gay Marriage:

The reality of gay marriage in Massachusetts has left some young people susceptible to the same sorts of pressures families have always levied on unwed children. Not long after the courts made gay marriage possible, Alison Rheingold, 34, who lives north of Boston and has been with her partner for six and a half years, began receiving inquiries from relatives about a wedding they presumed would happen right away.

The article closes with a gay lawyer quoting a New Yorker cartoon on the subject, to the effect that why the hell would gay people want to get married. The line I think of, of course, is the line “of course I’m in favor of gay marriage. I’m a divorce lawyer.”
