Navy Pride said:I just heard on the news that the Massachusetts Supreme Court has ruled that gay couples from other states will not be allowed to get married there.....This is a significant victory for gay marriage opponents and a defeat for gay marriage proponents.....
As soon as I can find a link on this I will post it.......If someone finds it first feel free to post it..........
aps said:Yes, Navy Pride, I saw that on MSNBC today. This kind of ruling is not necessarily ia defeat for gay marriage proponents. Some states allow cousins to get married. Others do not. Arizona does not allow cousins to get married, but let's say California does. If I want to marry my cousin and I go to California to get married, I cannot go back into Arizona and be legally married to my cousin. This is something that does not remotely come as a shock to me, and we know I am a gay marriage proponent.

Navy Pride said:You don't get it my friend..........By denying same sex couples from other states to marry in Mass. there is no problem..........If your gay and you want to marry in Mass. you stay in Mass. you have to be a resident of that state and you have to live there................

Synch said:No, because gay marriage is banned in states the gay couples come from, so Massachusetts has to respect the laws of the states of the origins of the gay couples.
star2589 said:I understand that much. I'm asking wouldnt it be unconsitutional for oregon to not recognise a marriage in massachusetts?
star2589 said:ok, that makes more sense. so what if a gay couple moved to massachusetts, became residents, got married, and then moved to a state where gay marriage was banned? would that state be forced to recognize the marriage then?
