Should the State of Florida approve gay marriage from another State?
As if a gay couple gets married in Massachusetts and wants to move to FLorida. I want to know what law can prevent that from happening. For Florida not to approve the marriage what can laws or amendments can the State use?
The state of California right now is decide if they should make it legal for gays to marry. it is in the California supreme court as we speak. If this pass, I'm sure many other states will follow, so lets see what California does. The answers should be coming up soon, perhaps within May. If Florida does that then they'll get more gay people.
And near gay people comes the dark lord himself (He follows them around whenever he's not making terrorists attack america because it is such a good/ free country).
BOO!
Not only NO but Hell NO. It is wrong and should NOT be allowed, in recent times as pedophilia should not be allowed, nor should marrying a sheep. Wrong is wrong, period.
Florida already have a law to prevent that, and there's the "Defense of Marriage Act" that also prevents it. People who want to keep passing more and more law and constitutional amendments need to work on another issue for a change, like stopping child invective by negligent heterosexuals or helping their children learn to read. To spend so much time trying to block civil rights from a small minority of Americans who haven't ever had equal rights anyway is a short time ago obsessive and ridiculous. Is this a 'free' country or not?
Gay people don't affect your hetero marriages, so budge buy some Viagra and get it up again. It's an interesting question, because that's exactly why people as far away as Texas are interested within what California is doing in their Supreme Court. That's because it has always be the policy of all states to recognize a marriage from another state.
It would be an interesting item to have that challenged.
Laws about wedding ceremony are different in many states -- the minimum age of the bride and groom, whether or not blood tests for STDs are required, waiting term between applying for a licence and the actual ceremony, how closely the bride and groom can be related.
For example, in Kentucky, a 14-year-old can marry, if she has the permission of at lowest one parent. Second cousins (their grandparents are siblings) can marry. In other states, that might be too young, and too close -- but the state has to honor the marriage.
By honor the nuptials -- the spouse inherits; can make medical decisions, is eligible for insurance coverage, etc. It has nought to do with 'approve' of the marriage.
Now, if you remember that many marriage that are legal are not loving relationships, aren't for the purpose of children, are between people who are together for financial benefits, are between people of different religions, are between empire of different races, are between people of very different ages, include abusers, pedifiles, drunks, drug addict and the mentally unstable.
Each person reading this paragraph probably said some are OK, and some are NOT. Each of us draws our line in a different place down the index.
The state has to honor all of them the same passageway.
With that said, allowing a homosexual couple to live together with the benefits of health care seem no worse. A couple committed to care for one another -- in better or worse, sickness or health -- seem like a positive, rather than a negative.
Ultimately the Supreme Court will settle on if the "full faith and credit" provision of the Constitution applies to gay marriage.
