Indiana's gay marriage debate highlights possible crimes

INDIANAPOLIS -- Indiana's gay marriage ban is drawing renewed national attention in the blogosphere this week because of little-known provisions in state law that potentially criminalize the matter.

The laws make it a felony for a same-sex couple even to apply for a marriage license and a misdemeanor for a clergy member to solemnize such a marriage.

It actually happened in 1997, but no one seemed to notice until now. To be totally fair to Indiana, it was once a felony to "knowingly solemnize a marriage of individuals who are prohibited from marrying", but now it's only a misdemeanor and the worst they can do is throw the preacher in jail for 180 days.

Hoosier pride. Or is it shame? I don't remember.
I have a nice hoosier cabinet though.

This is an issue for the Hoosier closet.
