Not so much "Gay in the US" stopping you as it is "Gay in Kansas".  Of course, since the US has to recognize foreign marriages, it'll be interesting to see what happens when Canada legalizes gay marriage.

Yeah...but if we got married in , say for example, Boston, (hehe "Boston Marriage"...I find it funny.Look it up...), it wouldn't be federally recognized, so if we left Mass, other states wouldn't have to recognize our marriage either... But we are making inroads towards equality, so someday, when there're Democrats in power... As for Canadian marriages, the US may have to recognize foriegn marriages, but they don't have to let Gay couples in.

In any case, if you remarry, I wanna give away the groom, dammit! LOL

That's where we get into legal semantics.  Marriages also have to be recognized across state lines.  They are a legal contract, and legal contracts made in one state are still binding in another.  That's one of the most basic rules of Federalism.  So in order for gay marriage to be made legal in the US, this is what has to happen.

1. A state or foreign country has to legalize gay marriage, and it has to survive court challenges up to the Supreme Court, or that nation's equivilant.
2. A gay couple has to get married in that area, move to another state where it isn't legal, and sue for their marriage to be recognized.
3. The suit has to progress all the way up to the US Supreme Court, where they will have to uphold it, or else nullify 230 years of legal precedence regarding the enforcability and portability of legally binding contracts.

Unless the US Constitution is ammended to specificly ban gay marriage, or the US Supreme court continually shoots it down, it will only be a matter of time.  And in Mass, time is starting to run out for the bigots fighting against us.  Also, the INS and US Marshals office doesn't have enough manpower to round up and kick out gay couples that have been legally married in foreign nations.  There's also much better things they should be doing with their time, anyways.

Have I reminded you lately that you need to run for office?

Nope.  But since I don't plan on moving to either coast anytime soon, it's a moot point.  Best I could hope for is Lawrence Mayor, and I don't wanna have to strangle the morons on the city council.

And I mean strangle, not wrangle.

So, stop at Garrotes-R-Us before you get sworn in. LOL
