OK the clause I’m thinking of is Full Faith and Credit, and it’s not the words of the clause that exempt states from having to recognize gay marriage it’s the INTERPRETATION of the clause which has been that marriages and other civil proceedings are not binding on states whose public policy is in conflict with for example recognizing gay marriages, divorces etc.
I didn’t know what DOMA referenced on that issue and in regard to the states’ rolls, but whatever it says, there is a legal precedent going way back that finds an exception under Full Faith and Credit for such issues as gay marriage...which is not dependent on DOMA.
Thanks again on this issue. But all I see is the gates of Hell being opened up, to blot out standards of decency being required in community behavior. What a stain of sinful behavior is evidenced in the moral character of those trusted with the development of the souls of little children! Pfaagh!
