“Cruz correctly stated that such decisions belong to the States, not the Federal gov’t. ...(I paraphrased)”
So you’ve got one state recognizing homosexual marriages and another state that does not. They move to the other state. What happens to their children? To the laws governing estates? etc.
This is not a driver’s license. It is not a gun license. What one state does, affects the rights of other States.
This is not a State issue.
Cruz is ducking the issue. He knows the Supreme Court has already nullified any rights that States may have to make laws governing homosexual marriages. Perhaps it’s because Cruz is speaking in front of a homosexual group.

**************************************
1) The Constitution has no language addressing marriage.
2) SCOTUS exists to rule on whether laws do or do not comply with the Constitution.
3) SCOTUS can not create laws.
4) The 10th Amendment gives to the States all rights not specifically given to the Federal gov’t. by the Constitution.
Thus, the marriage issue is a States’ Right to determine. A couple of years ago a lesbian couple filed for divorce in TX and they were denied. They had married in some leftist State but Texas didn’t legally recognize the marriage of the couple. .....Don’t know if that position has changed or not.
Also, it was not a “homosexual group”, but one homo person of the group that asked Cruz the question.
