But that still wouldn't force other states to recognize faggot "marriages" performed in faggot states.No, but we will then see later cases arguing that the Constitution's Full Faith and Credit Clause requires each state to recognize marriages performed in another state.
I don't practice family law, and I haven't researched this, but I am sure there is caselaw from back in the day when interracial marriages were illegal in some states and legal in others. I do remember learning in law school a legal maxim, "A marriage valid where celebrated is valid everywhere."

I do remember learning in law school a legal maxim, "A marriage valid where celebrated is valid everywhere." I'm surprised that issue hasn't already come up in front of the SCOTUS, being as quite a few states have had same-sex marriage for awhile now. For instance, let's say Judy and Susie get married next week up in Seattle, and then they move to Missouri. Someone in MO says, "We don't recognize you as legally married", and J & S have their Washington State Marriage Certificate. J & S say, "Full faith and credit clause of the US Constitution." Of course, inevitably, it will come up, most likely in the next five years at the latest.

LOL two self destructive sick perverts engaging in disordered sexual activities with a leftist seal of approval does not a marriage make. Keep dreaming and lurking.
