I'm on my phone, so more later.  |
The Justices said they will answer two questions:
1. Do all States have to allow same -sex marriage based on the US Constitution.
2. Do all States have to honor marriages performed in other States and Countries.
Question 1 has come before the court before, and same-sex marriages were not guaranteed by the US Constitution...but we are in a different time, and 36 States now have equality. It is not a slam dunk folks, but i do have hope that the question will be decided in the favor of equality.
I know that the fight to deny all other rights to us will ramp up, every day i read about states trying to write descrimination into law, and it saddens me that the SCOTUS will probably have to decide that question at some other time.
