Question - how does this work now? You have a state where gay marriage is illegal. Gay couple, legally married in another state, moves there. According to opinion, states can continue to not recognize that gay marriage. Won't that complicate benefits though? A lot of benefits are based upon where you live.

Also, what about places which take Federal funding. Say a University doesn't offer a gay couple married insurance benefits. That University accept Federal funding but the state where it is located doesn't recognize gay marriage. Can the University not recognize it either for purposes of insurance?

I see this decision creating a myriad of problems and likely a ton more lawsuits.

And neither do a large percentage of americans.. Better find another word because "subsidy" in regards to churches is asinine.

That doesnt make it a subsidy, and its paid for by the very same members who attend churches among other things.. Or do you think church goers are tax exempt?

Yup with homosexual loving Kennedy on the bench this is the logical step, Boies has said as much.

Not true. Marriage benefits are only for married people. Common sens.

There is a big difference between paying for something you disagree with, and paying for something which you consider immoral, like abortion and gay marriage.

It's not ignorance, it's arrogance.

Because apparently their faith is so weak that it will be destroyed if so much as one person chooses not to agree and abide by their religious faith.

If you openly support issues that not only contradict His word but mock Him you are without God. If you want to be with God follow His word. If you're offended then change.

If we could take a brief moment to dispense with the insults. I'm actually wanting to know this information -
