re: #367 goddamnedfrank

No. According to the ruling the federal government looks to the state of residence to see whether the marriage is honored. DOMA was only partially struck down, the full faith and credit clause has not been restored. A gay marriage performed in a state like New York doesn’t carry federal benefits if the couple then moves or returns to a state like Mississippi that has explicitly outlawed ssm.

Total bullshit ruling.

Not quite bullshit. As the decision was based on equal protection rather than states rights, I am sure there will be more challenges by individuals in states (such as Utah, which has a ban on SS marriage)

Now there is precedent under equal protection. I see more states coming aboard in the future and others being challenged.
