federal judge voids homophobic state law:

"(05-12) 15:25 PDT Lincoln, Neb. (AP) --
A federal judge Thursday [ May 12] struck down Nebraska's ban on gay marriage,
saying the measure interferes not only with the rights of gay couples
but also with those of foster parents,
adopted children
and people in a host of other living arrangements."
