When I posted post 31, I hadn’t seen this post.
So you do believe that states can have gay marriage, and you believe that when a family moves to different state, that their family no longer exists as a married couple with kids, or if an FBI agent or Marine is transferred to a different state, that they are no longer married.
Yes, my reservation being that I don't know if English common law, which the Founding States had acknowledged in the Constitution and allows only for traditional, one man, one woman marriage, might possibly trump 10th Amendment.
... and you believe that when a family moves to different state, that their family no longer exists as a married couple with kids, ...
What diffierence does it make? There are unmarried couples with kids everywhere.
... or if an FBI agent or Marine is transferred to a different state, that they are no longer married.
They're still married in states that recognize gay marriage. But it remains that since the states never amended the Constitution to protect so-called gay rights, English common law helping to protect traditional marriage in Reynolds v. United States, the states are free to discriminate against gay issues, including gay marriage imo.
Note that Reynolds v. United States did not examine 10th Amendment-protected state powers since case dealt with a US territory.
