I’m not familiar with this clause, but I believe that states that want gay marriage should allow it, and those that don’t want it don’t have to recognize it.

Married homos should be mindful of the states they travel thru if they want to be confident that their marriage is recognized.

What people really mean when they say the government cannot legislate morality is “leave my vices alone”. What the government can do, and is doing now, is legislating immorality. Government is forcing, mandating immorality upon us – same sex marriage, forcing homosexual and other sexual immorality in schools, forcing workplaces to tolerate perverse behavior and so on. So, the government is legislating immorality.

Well said.

Then homosexuals would fight to have their sick perv “marriages” recobnized under the Full Faith and Credit clause or whatever it is called exactly, that all real marraiges are recognized under. Homosexuals would claim that if their “marriages” are not recognized in all states they are second class spouses or something.

I’m a Federalist. I don’t endorse gay marriage or any other liberal ideas.

If a particular state passes gay marriage thru their legislature, rather than judicial activism, I would accept it.

I don’t know what the “WOD” is, so I don’t know if your silly assumption about me is correct. But overall, your post to me was pretty lame. Try better next time.

You have isolated the real problem, which is that fact that states are required to recognize marriages.

There is a lot of work to be done.

Let me guess which of the regular troll posters posted that original article? It would only take three.

yea that’s going great, we have two men who move to LA from NY and then want a divorce and there are many many issues like this around the country.

Anyone thinking the GOP should not raise this is not taking notice.
The NY seat was also about homosexual marriage amongst other issues.
Every state which is asked the question votes to have normal marriage.

We should mention it instead of being cowards

Marriages have always been “recognized” as legally binding, which means “by the state”. That way inheritance, protection of children, and so on are legal.

The ridiculous idea that marriages should just be private “contracts” with no public or legal ramification is a standard libertarian pie in the sky utopian “if human nature was all different, everything would be all different”.

Nope.

Libertarians. Is there any moral/social problem that they can't solve?

From Wikipedia:

Overview

Libertarian schools of thought differ over the degree to which the state should be reduced. Anarchists advocate complete elimination of the state. Minarchists advocate a state which is limited to protecting its citizens from aggression, theft, breach of contract, and fraud. Some libertarians go further, such as by supporting minimal public assistance for the poor.[2] Additionally, some schools are supportive of private property rights in the ownership of unappropriated land and natural resources while others reject such private ownership and often support common ownership instead.[3][4][5]

Another distinction can be made among libertarians who support private ownership and co-operative ownership of the means of production; the former generally supporting a capitalist economy, the latter a libertarian socialist economic system. In some parts of the world, the term "libertarianism" is synonymous with anarchism.[citation needed]

No-—Can’t have States take away Natural Rights of children to be raised by their biological parents. Those rights are inalienable....granted by God and can’t be voted away or given away. Look up the word in our Founding documents.

The Standard of Right and Wrong-—is the Objective Truth which comes from the Creator-—the Christian paradigm—and that is the philosophy of our Supreme Law of the Land.....It is not Barney Frank’s standard of “Right and Wrong” or the Standards of Marx or Atheism.

The Law of the Land is from God’s laws. We can never change those standards of right and wrong without eliminating the Fundamental principles of Natural Law Theory and giving up our Natural Right (Hint: it doesn’t include putting penises in places which cause disease and dysfunctional lifestyles).

Excellent.

And as to the subject of this article, beyond merely never endorsing gay "marriage", the GOP needs leaders who will aggressively push back against the homosexual assault on our culture.

Mittwits need not apply.

Exactly so. Just “not endorsing” homosexual marriage is definitely not enough.
