DC Comics is saying that their big reset stupidity will also get rid of the Superman/Lois Lane marriage.

And yes, it is stupidity. They had a chance to 'reset' everything a few years back with Final Crisis. They could have changed things up more with Blackest Night or Brightest Day. Hell, Brightest Day is barely over, and the aftermath involving the Swamp Thing isn't supposed to end until August, which is a month before the reset. So really, what the hell?

Not to mention that DC just has a stellar reputation of getting the vast continuity changing stuff down right. (We're looking at you, Hawkman.)

The same sex marriage bill in New York is going down to the wire. You know, I want to see New York pass this one. And I also want to see the Catholic church shut the hell up about it.
New York's Archbishop, Timothy Dolan, reiterated his and the Catholic Church's opposition to gay marriage on Sunday, vowing to oppose "any radical bill to redefine the very essence of marriage."

"One has to wonder why the proponents of this radical redefinition, who claim overwhelming popular support, would not consider" a referendum "on such a drastic departure from traditional values?" he wrote on his blog.
Yes, traditional values... like those values 125 years ago, which pretty much said that interracial marriages were 'wrong', and in many states were illegal (in some states, interracial marriages were illegal until 1967, when SCOTUS reached its' decision in Loving v. Virginia).

Look, if they're consenting adults, there shouldn't be any law restricting them from being married. But that's obviously far too sensible an idea.
