Maybe the SCOTUS is about to connect some more dots!

States have to recognise marriages from other states so if I get married in Maryland and move to Kansas I don’t have to get remarried for Kansas to consider my wife and I married. Since you can now be legally married on the internet I don’t think it really matters. If they over turn this ruling, and push it back to the states there are certainly states which won’t marry gay people but it won’t be all and I doubt if it’s even half. So if a gay or lesbian or whatever couple wants to be married they can. I’m sure much will be made of it but it won’t stop a single gay marriage from happening
Actually over thirty states amended their constitutions to define marriage. Very near the threshold that would be required to amend the Constitution. Should the matter return back to the states those amendments should stand.
 
Ten years after the Supreme Court extended marriage rights to same-sex couples nationwide, the justices this fall will consider for the first time whether to take up a case that explicitly asks them to overturn that decision.
From a moral standpoint I don't blame them but from a social standpoint it depends upon what "rights" they think should be "unequal".
 
Who the **** are YOU to decide who can and cannot be married. Don't give me "God's Law" shit either. We are a secular nation. You do have any right to decide how other's live their own private lives. It does not matter that brain dead homophobic butt wad full of hate. Which is what you are.
Secular=Atheist. And, no we are not an atheist nation. The one major mistake the Founders made is not establishing America as a Christian nation. If they had, we would have never had a ridiculous ruling like Obergefell. We need to fix that with an Amendment.
 
One more time, YOU don't get to decide who can and cannot marry. It is NOT up to you or anyone else. You choose hate. Which is NOT pro-life.
Gay couples can’t marry because they are not capable of coiltus as a group, which is the definition of marriage. Even the liberal Roberts was incredulous at the ruling.
 
And then, what about "personhood" being decided State by State? How is that somehow acceptable? Workable?
It isn’t working

Thank the courts
 
They need to scrap all the so-called gay marriages. These people are roommates doing unnatural sick acts.
What unnatural sick acts do heterosexuals engage in
Why do you care

That may be however.


Doesn't matter what any individual state's Constitution says. If there's 1 state in the Union who will issue a marriage license to a gay couple it is defacto legalized gay marriage in the entire country. As far as the state is concerned marriage is just a contract between 2 people. It's not the same as a biblical marriage and we shouldnt view them or treat them the same either.
 
Marriage for 10,000 years is the act of holy matrimony before God for the express purpose of keeping the act pure and protecting the sanctity of the institution and the divinity of children.
Marriage for 10,000 was about property and providing for children.

Note the Full Faith and Credit Clause means that marriages in pro-marriage states are just as valid in pro slave er anti marriage states.
 
Being married in one state and not when you cross a state line is not workable

What is the courts plan for those who are already married?

What Obergfell should have done is say States can decide to ISSUE or NOT ISSUE same sex marriage license on their own, but they have to HONOR any marriage license issued by other States as they have always done after Loving.

So Arkansas doesn't have to issue same sex marriage licenses, but it has to treat one from another State the same as it treats its own.
 
It will stop gay marriage in over 30 states, which will definitely reduce the number. But more importantly, it is the first step in removing societal sanction for the evil practice.
No it wont.


States are required to recognize marriages from other states. It's no different than individual states have different rules to get a drivers licenses. If South Carolina decides that it wants to give driver's licenses to 12 year olds and North Carolina decides they want to make people wait until they are 30, North Carolina cant pull over a 14 year old with a valid South Carolina license and arrest them for driving illegally.

I agree.

Where did you get the idea that the state doesn't get to decide who it will or wont marry? Can you marry your sister? Can you marry more than one person? Why shouldn't the electorate of a state get to decide?
 
Wrong.



Nope.

Marriage is between two consenting adults.

It's not hard to grasp. If you WANT to.

.
That's not remotely true. Can siblings get married? Can I marry my grandmother if we both consent? Can I marry more than 1 person if we all consent?

Depending on the State certain levels of Cousin marriage are also banned, but this doesn't mean anything for out of State marriages that violate the new States law. The existing marriage still counts under full faith and credit.
 
If you are married in one state you are married in all states.
That is how it is and how it should be be, but to be honest, several years back, I could have saved a lot of money by just moving to another state instead of paying all that money to a lawyer.

Agreed. Just dispelling the myth that the state doesn’t restrict marriage other than between gay people.

Why would it need a plan for this? My marriage in X state is already valid in all the other ones.
