Scanned your posts, but didn’t see it.

Found this via google:

States with Legal Same-Sex Marriage Prior to the June 26, 2015 Supreme Court Ruling:

8 by State Legislature
Delaware (July 1, 2013), Hawaii (Dec. 2, 2013), Illinois (June 1, 2014), Minnesota (Aug. 1, 2013), New Hampshire (Jan. 1, 2010), New York (July 24, 2011), Rhode Island (Aug. 1, 2013), Vermont (Sep. 1, 2009)

3 by Popular Vote
Maine (Dec. 29, 2012), Maryland (Jan. 1, 2013), Washington (Dec. 9, 2012)

So we have 11 states that lawfully legislated same sex marriage and 39 that did NOT.

The will of the people was overridden in 26 other states via judicial activism prior to the unlawful SCOTUS ruling:

Alabama (Feb. 9, 2015), Alaska (Oct. 17, 2014), Arizona (Oct. 17, 2014), California (June 28, 2013), Colorado (Oct. 7, 2014), Connecticut (Nov. 12, 2008), Florida (Jan. 6, 2015), Idaho (Oct. 13, 2014), Indiana (Oct. 6, 2014), Iowa (Apr. 24, 2009), Kansas (Nov. 12, 2014), Massachusetts (May 17, 2004), Montana (Nov. 19, 2014), Nevada (Oct. 9, 2014), New Jersey (Oct. 21, 2013), New Mexico (Dec. 19, 2013), North Carolina (Oct. 10, 2014), Oklahoma (Oct. 6, 2014), Oregon (May 19, 2014), Pennsylvania (May 20, 2014), South Carolina (Nov. 20, 2014), Utah (Oct. 6, 2014), Virginia (Oct. 6, 2014), West Virginia (Oct. 9, 2014), Wisconsin (Oct. 6, 2014), Wyoming (Oct. 21, 2014)

Same sex marriage is definitely NOT the LAW of the land!

The current ruling is judicial tyranny, not law.

As I understand it, all of those marriage laws have been struck down. So, until those legislatures rewrite those laws, they really have no authority to be using that old law at all.

I'm no lawyer, but it seems to me that they need to do a rewrite.

If it were me, I'd vote not to have licenses at all for anyone. That's 'equal treatment under the law'.

Where does it say that the state is required to issue marriage licenses?

Ok, here we go. Bit older so some of the data might be a bit dated, but should be mostly accurate. I'd repaste the whole thing but that's alot of formatting and < br /> to type out for every line

Actually, there's more states that have banned gay marriage than those that have approved it. I count 16 that have specifically allowed it, 30 that specifically are 1man/1woman, and 4 that are 1man/1woman by statute but not Constitution. Federal judiciary tyranny doesn't count as a pro-homo state!
