Obama And Gay Marriages

[denuseri]

I think you misunderstood me. What I meant by some states is that only some states made being mixed race marriages "illegal". Where as other ruled it was fine.

Eventually the full faith and credit cluase was applied and those "some" states were forced to recognize mixed race marriages.

actually ri recognizes gay marriages in ma but does not issue licenses itself, in other words, its legal to be in a gay marriage, but you can't get married

Yes, that I can understand. States may be able to get away with declining to issue such marriage licenses, but they cannot (or at least should not) be permitted to ignore LEGAL licenses from other states. The same applies to drivers licenses. If you are licensed to drive in one state, you are licensed to drive in ALL states, even if you are not legally old enough to obtain a license in a particular state.

of North Carolina because of what Obama said about Gay Marriages but NC is SO out of touch with current times it is unreal
