Worth remembering, maybe, that non-married couples are still forbidden to live together as a couple in five states. So the discrimination in question, if any, might be on the basis of marital status, period, not straight vs. gay marriages.

Also think I believe the attorneys saying they were trying to keep out corporations. If they were trying to make some kind of derogatory comment on gay couples, you'd think they'd want it known. One of them relates an anecdote where he screwed up condo restrictions in a way that required everyone to own a 45-lb dog.

Happens. Glad it's sorted though.
