A New Mexico judge says a marriage license that was one among several issued to same-sex couples in 2004 is valid because a case challenging them was "never litigated to its conclusion," and that divorce proceedings related to that license can go ahead.
The Santa Fe New Mexican reports:
"State District Judge Sarah Singleton's decision came in a hearing in a divorce petition brought by Angela Maria Carrejo against her former partner, Karla JaNelle Haught.
Haught, representing herself, moved to dismiss the petition, arguing that her marriage to Carrejo was invalid from the beginning because New Mexico law does not authorize same-sex marriage.
Carrejo's lawyer, Amber Train, countered that New Mexico does not ban same-sex marriage and that no judge has struck down the licenses issued by Sandoval County Clerk Victoria Dunlap on Feb. 20, 2004.
Singleton avoided the broader issue of whether gay marriage is legal in New Mexico, but stuck to the issue of whether the gay marriage licenses were invalid from the beginning, or could be declared invalid later.
Dunlap may have been negligent or mistaken, Singleton said, but the licenses she issued are 'not void from the inception, but merely voidable.'"
66 same-sex couples received marriage licenses from Dunlap in 2004 before the state attorney general ordered her to stop.

The California legislature approved a resolution on Monday urging the IRS to tax married same-sex spouses and domestic partners the same as heterosexual married couples, the AP reports:
"The resolution, AJR29, asks the Internal Revenue Service to issue a ruling requiring individuals in a same-sex marriage or domestic partnership to each report half of their community income on federal tax returns.
Currently, California law requires same-sex couples and domestic partners to do so, but the IRS does not.
The Senate-endorsed resolution passed the Assembly on a 52-9 vote Monday."

[SPOILERS]
Theo Alexander talked to Movieline about his steamy (but ill-fated) sex scene with Alexander Skarsgard in True Blood.
What was the energy like on set the day that you shot the sex scene?
Well, I think that whole week, Alexander [Skarsgård] and I were both a little bit anxious, but we were joking and being professional. Alexander is a great actor, though, and he helped me get beyond the physical part of the scene. I had been afraid of the scene from the very beginning — from the first moment that I held the script in my hand — but I’m glad I did it because every time you face your fears, you move forward. It was a good experience at the end of the day.
What aspect of the scene scared you?
Well, the part about kissing another man. I don’t really do that, so… I didn’t want to think of him as a woman. Many people told me, “Oh, just close your eyes and think of him as a woman.” But no, because that is a totally different energy and I had to be very present with Alex and his male energy. I had to open myself to be able to actually be attracted to him, like, really attracted to him. At the end of the day, it was fun, though.
No doubt.
