Except for the fact that there are 1138 Federal laws mandating rights and privileges for ONLY "married" people, State recognition of gay marriages does not give gay people access to these benefits, the law must be changed at the Federal level--either taking the Federal governement out of the marriage business entirely or giving the Constitutional "equal protection" under Federal law to all tax-paying, consenting adults.


The problem with States controlling marriage is that there is no requirement for reciprocity from State to State, a legal marriage here may be illegal in other States--which is a disaster for all concerned.
