Re: Supreme Court delivers wins for gay marriage movement

103 page opinion or something like that, dissents included.

I havent read the majority opinion yet but i think the headlines are misleading.

to my understanding (havent read opinion yet), this case law holds that all states must recognize out-of-state same sex marriages.

this case does not mean a same sex couple can get married in Texas tomorrow.

This case means Texas has to recognize and treat equal a same sex couple who got married, say, new hampshire or NY or DC etc .....

I imagine a same sex couple can apply for a license in Texas, get denied then bring suit which may force the SCOTUS to overturn any state law prohibitnig the marriage.
