Should all states accept same sex couples married outside of their state of residence?

Answer 1

Sure, unless you wish to institute an attempt to overthrow the "Full Faith and Credit" clause in the Constitution.

Contrary to Fr.Chucklehead, the laws that work together from State to State are what make this a United group of States. The fact that disingenuous cowards continue to propose voting on civil rights as being some form of proof of something more than BIGOTRYsimply goes to show the wisdom of the Founding Fathers in attempting to erect a wall of seperation between the influences of the Church on the State(and vice versa) and the principle of the judiciary being there to protect the rights of the minority from the will of the majority.
Interesting side note this was the entire issue of Loving V Virginia in which an interracial couple were living in Virginia where it was ILLEGAL for them to marry and they were arrested after leaving the state and marrying in a state that DID allow the marriage and returning back to Virginia. Contrary to popular arguments(that were used in a similar way then as well) marriage does not have any requirement of procreation to make a marriage valid, nor does it require that a couple even be capable of procreation(or sexual intercourse for that matter.)

Answer 2

Yes, should be a federal law for each state to recognize a marriage performed elsewhere in the US, regardless of who the married couple is. Afterall, how confusing would it be if each person had to get married all over again if they moved to another state. They don't do that to hetero couples, so why is there acceptable discrimination against same sex couples?

Answer 3

Well again this is something that our constitution was supposed to protect. The states were supposed to uphold the laws of the other states and recognize their legalities. In the Defense of Marriage Act, which was ironically signed by Bill Clinton, who was supposed to be our friend, Congress said that no state had to accept the marriage of another state. Unconstitutional? Maybe, but I think it is fragile enough that even the gay legal teams don't want to give this Supreme Court the opportunity to find against us, so they haven't pushed the point.

Answer 4

YES - - - and here is a legal argument you won't hear anyplace else - - - a Marriage Contract is simply that - - - a pact between two people pledging certain shared rights & responsibilties - - - and a valid contract/licence duly issued by a lawful agency/government ought to be honored / recognized by all lawful agencies/governments. A country refusing to honor two peoples committment to each other and in turn to their progency/family, such a country would be grossly uncivillized. Peace.

Answer 5

Only if you really want to grant the same rights to all citizens and not penalize anyone for their choice of life mate.

Of course they should. Same sex couples should not have to go to any extraordinary measures to have the same rights granted to all married couples in any state.

Answer 6

I think we all should have the right to marry who ever we want so yes i think it should be accepted every where!!!!

Answer 7

No, each state has the right to pass thier own laws.
