Which does not violate DOMA, as long as it doesn't implicate Federal benefits or require recognition by any other state.
Since you like education so much, you should go get some.
Wrong. the law that they stuck down does go against the DOMA. Case in point. A same sex couple is married in Mass. The move to California. California refuses to recognize the union and provide benefits. Can we say ACLU and 9th district? Let's understand a few things. 1st marriage as an institution as we know it is under attack. Since Liberals and GAYS cannot achieve the "right" outcome at the ballot box they will use activist judges to reach their goals. The only thing that can trump the courts are constitutional amendments. Finally Linclon once asks a person if you call a dogs tail a leg how many legs does the dog have? His answer 4. You can call a tail what you want but the dog still only has 4 legs. If Gays want civil unions fine no problem. All the rights no problems. Just don't call it marriage. One last thought if there is separation of church and state how does the state recognize marriage? Answer the constitution does not make a division such as that.
