Texas does not recognize same-sex marriage. We recently refused to divorce such a couple. So we’re not forced to accept same-sex NY marriage.
A couple of years ago, Louisiana refused and was forced by the courts to alter their vital records (birth) to put the names of a same-sex couple on the birth certificate of a child adopted by that couple in the State of New York. LA should have appealed all the way to the SCOTUS. (I don’t know what the status is now of that lawsuit.) Such a case would have standing and would clearly delineate a state’s right not to recognize same-sex marriages from other states. If NY wants to allow same-sex marriage and adoption by such couples, then NY should have to issue a new birth certificate for that child.
But how does Texas get by with it in view of the full faith and credit clause? Is it simply DOMA that protects them?
