From Pennsylvania comes this story of the opening of a broad new front in the battle over the meaning of marriage. It seems that first-cousins are seeking to break down the barriers now in place in 26 states to prevent their marriage (it's perfectly legal in Europe and Canada, apparently). I note this story for two reasons, only:
1. The organization promoting this agenda is called Cousins United to Defeat Discriminating Laws through Education - CUDDLE. Isn't that nauseatingly cute?
2. Given the fact that the popular myth is that everyone in West Virginia marries a cousin, I just wanted to point out again that this story comes from PENNSYLVANIA!

I was also shocked to learn that W Va isn't one of the states that allow cousin marriages (only adopted cousins). Interesting! I had a good comment otherwise :)
