Most Denver residents will have trouble relating to the fact that Salma Hayek’s husband, billionaire Francois-Henri Pinault, will appear in court this week to respond to a request from the mother of his son for $46,000 a month in child support.

Maryland Governor Martin O’Malley brought a significant change to the state’s understanding of “family” and the protection that is afforded to all families when he signed the Civil Marriage Protection Act into law this week.
