   EC>to sodomy! Not at all.  It would make you an "accessory to marriage,"   
   EC>which is NOT a crime.  If the marriage were a crime, then EVERYONE who   
   EC>just KNEW about it without reporting it to the police would be an   
   EC>accessory to the marriage.  But it makes no difference, since it is not a   
   EC>crime.  Now that you know the couple was married in Massachusetts, that   
   EC>makes you as much of an "accessory" as the baker.   
      
      
   EC>And it couldn't possibly make anyone an accessory to any sex that the   
   EC>couple might have, since the marriage and the sex are two completely   
   EC>different things. Since the sex would be legal, with or without the   
   EC>marriage, the whole idea of being an accessory to it is once again   
   EC>meaningless.   
      
      
   You can't have it both ways. Either same-sex marriage is illegal in Colorado,   
   or it isn't. If its `illegal', the baker refusing to participate in it is the   
   same as refusing to be an accessory to a crime.
