Freudian slip of the month

In a recent blog, Albert Mohler discusses the problems with an Idaho judge's decision to strike down a state law limiting marriage to the union of a man and a woman. The ruling would open up marriage to homosexual couples. Mohler quotes from the judgement, and, very subtly, highlights one of the funniest, and yet most poignant, Freudian slips I've seen for a long time:
Couples, such as plaintiffs, who are otherwise qualified to marry one another may not be denied licenses to marry or certificates of marriage or in any other way prevented from entering into a civil marriage pursuant to Iowa Code Chapter 595 by reason of the fact that both persons compromising [sic] such a couple are of the same sex. (Judge Robert Hanson)
