I'm interested to hear that since I agree. To take it one more step, if any state should make gay marriages legal, would all of the others have to recognize that marriage in the same way that they do the Las Vegas ones mentioned above? Or, can a law in, let's say Ohio, nullify the effects of a law in, again let's say, New York within Ohio? I believe that to be the case, but don't know that for sure and ask our lawyers and law students for their input.
ETA, if states are rushing to pass laws to define marriage as being between a man and a woman, does that mean that same sex marriages are legal until that kind of law is passed? Or is there just a black hole kind of void until a law defines what a marriage can (or can't?) be? For instance, was public intoxication "legal" before some act was passed by a legislature or city council?
