We're a very short distance from full LGBT equality. And at the same time, the GOP has energized the entire Democratic base by having their judges kill the Voting Rights Act and by ratcheting up the GOP War on Women. We may do very well in 2014.

my daughter's friends went to Ct. to get married. Then they came back to NY, and they were not legally married. I can imagine that the same thing is happening now in NJ with couples going to marry in NY.

The problem is that when they go home, or move to another state, their marriages won't be recognized. Same situation for interracial couples before Loving v. Va.

This is definitely be the next case before the courts. Full Faith and Credit Clause.

I probably never will. But then, when I was religious, a long time ago, my God was pretty progressive, and I'm a Canadian. Perhaps it's not worth the effort to try to understand.

Isn't it amazing how they preach about so-called "liberty", but they've been firmly opposed to allowing gays to do whatever they want with their private lives?

A couple even openly suggested killing gays or that God will cause natural disasters, and are using slurs. It's a KKK rally, or at least similar to ignorance seen from the Taliban. It's a contest who can be the most ignorant and be proud of it.

because these idiots never let atmospheric reality get in the way of anything.

I'd like to hear their logic if the hurricanes stick to the GOP leaning states this year and ignore the upper mid-Atlantic region altogether this time around.
