The rest of the United States does not have to obey an artificial definition of marriage, a made up definition. There is only one form of marriage, between 1 man and 1 woman.
The Mormons learned that. The Mormons had their families too.
With all due respect, it is interesting how here we seem to have a scenario where someone is asserting the Federal Government is going to make this so everyone has to recognize gay marriages. No, with all due respect, I don’t think the SCOTUS will do that despite some of the far leftist judges we currently have.
That was a long time ago, and a different country, today there will not be islands where you are in legal jeopardy or limbo traveling to, through or being sent to, or being stationed in, because they don’t recognize you as married and parents.
If this is the hope you are clinging to, then you have quite a fantasy life.
Besides, even that fantasy is pretty slim pickings when gay marriage is the norm in the media, the government, the military, California and New York and Hollywood and the daily news, the hit songs, the children’s shows, the textbooks and in a new state, every few months or every year or two.
