But DOMA says the Federal government only recognizes opposite sex(Normal) married couples when giving benefits, It still treats those legal arrangements as preferred to the newer SS arrangements made in liberal states.
If libs and libertarians don't like DOMA they should have tried to repeal it in 2009 and 2010 under Obama. But they wouldnt because they would fail and then be held responsible. Likewise Republicans need to stop the phony constitutional amendment promises to ban all SS marriages in all states (over-ride state laws) because they know they will never succeed.
The fact that citizens choose to live in a state that doesn’t have legal SS marriage, is a way of holding the line if they ensure that their state does not legalize it.
I chose to live in Georgia and I am thankful that there isn’t a massive push for this in my state. When I moved here, I knew the culture that I was moving to and how it would shape my life. That was one of its chief attractions.
We hear all the time of people getting fed up with their state legislatures, the changing of the laws to suit the leftists, the culture that is closing in on them, and their loss of freedom. Out of frustration they pack up and move to a state that better suits them.
It really does matter to most people which state they live in. We are fortunate that we started out as thirteen colonies and then became individual states. The freedom to move to another state where we can start a new life and live the way that we feel is best, is one of our greatest blessings.
