“Not the way I was talking about. Get married in Cali then move to idaho...then sue in Idaho for your marriage to be recognized since they recognize marriages in cali of man and woman.”
I’m not sure I understand what you mean. Idaho already recognizes marriage between a man and a woman. Are you saying a heterosexual couple could sue Idaho for recognizing their marriage? That does not make sense to me unless it was intended as humor. But if you mean homosexuals becoming legally married in California then moving to Idaho to sue, this ruling will make it far easier for this situation to arise.
What I think you are describing would have been possible before this ruling because homosexual couples who “married” in Boston could have moved to another state and done what you are saying.
What is different here is that no one has to move. Two homosexuals cohabitating in Idaho could take a vacation to California, get “married”, then return to their current home and demand for their marriage to be recognized.
People often marry in states and even in foreign countries where they do not reside. Boston requires couples to abide by the laws of the state in which they reside, so Boston does not “marry” homosexual couples that do not reside there. California does not require this to the best of my knowledge.
So it is much more likely for this to occur because it does not require moving.
Looks like there’ll be a Homo Hoedown at the marriage license bureaus in CA. What about people who want to marry dogs? or ponies? Should THEY have to suffer in silence, the only ones still discrimated against?
I wonder if American divorce lawyers are behind this “gay” “marriage”. If so, they must be expecting a windfall from the “failed” “marriages”.
Backs...../snicker
regardless of your feelings towards gay marriage, which is ridiculous as a concept by itself.
the real story here is that a handful of people can overturn a majority rule.
sounds like democracy is dead in cali. this is tyranny.
What I’m describing is that a gay married couple can move to idaho and sue. Yes they can do this in boston too, but California has more people and has the 9th circuit so they will be more willing to try that over there. Also with more and more states recognizing gay marriage at some point they’ll feel more confident with their case to the supremes.
Yea !! a boy and a dog !! what about a boy and his Nintendo Wii ???? where is this slippery slope going to end ??

Sad, very sad.
The legal challenge is not only more likely due to a second state having this ruling, and not only because the state is populous, but also because this state allows residents of other states to wed there without regard to the laws of the state in which they reside.
This means a homosexual couple who lives in Idaho could “marry” California and then challenge their home state in court when their “marriage” is not recognized.
The court made a decision that’s just as* backwards.,.
surely the Big One must be on its way.
