10 States Ask California Court to Delay Gay Marriage

Christians are not bigots. We love those that are gay but immoral is immoral and we understand the judgement they will face if they don't turn to God and from their sin. Remember the judgement of Sodom and Gomorrah. God is the same, yesterday, today and tomorrow. He is holding back His judgement in love, but one day it will come. Look around at our Country and tell me His blessing is not being pulled away from us. We used to be blessed as a nation, now where do we stand? We must understand that God is a God of love but He is also a righteous God that must judge sin. I can't go into everything here about our great Nation, I can only say that we have lost so much because of our sin and because we refuse to live according to His ways. I leave you with this, consider our schools, our finances and our standing in the world and you will see my point.

I don't see what the issue is. First, anyone married in Mass could move to one of these 10 states, so the California ruling is nothing new. Second, Mass does permit out of state couples to marry so long as their home state doesn't forbid it. Hopefully, the California Supreme Court will toss this out or refuse the argument, at the very least.

Gays have waded through the legal obstacles and taken the proper steps to gain marriage equality. The California State Supreme Court has spoken. Implemenation should be immediate. If other states and/or local forces wish to stay this order until the November election, all should be held liable for damages to court ordered civil rights once the voters agree with the decision of the State Supreme Court.

I am personally happy these other states are sticking their noses in our business. Maybe we will get to the real issue faster. It simply comes down to one state recognizing and accepting the laws of other states. I only need to mention drivers licenses. My DL allows me to operate a motor vehicle in any other state. Can you imagine if one state denied driving rights of residents of other states? If 14.3% of the population (CA) allows marriage, this will cause conflict between states and that can only be resolved in the US Supreme Court. These marriage protection amendments have set the stage for the ultimate showdown. This issue can and will end up in the US Supreme cour,t not as gay marriage, but as recognition of individual rights between states. This may not end in my lifetime...but end it will. If I recall correctly...all men (women) are created equal. It is as simple as that.

Sad to say, I live in one of these narrow-minded states that is sticking its nose in California's business. Wouldn't it be a wonderful world if everyone could just let everyone else love and live with who they want? Our lawmakers should be more concerned with cracking down on pedefiles who, some by the way, are straight, married, good ol' southern religious leaders. Aren't these the same people who are bashing gays and condemning homosexuality while preaching the good book and then doing god-knows-what behind closed doors? Get a life. Let us love and live with whom we want and also share the same benefits of a married couple. Keep your nose in your own state's business. I only wish that my partner and I could have marital benefits. Go California!!!! Forge ahead and open up those doors for gay marriages!

When any of these states consider giving up their tax deferents to the Bible benders who are the ones making the demands, then and only then should it be considered. Why is our tax money going to support these bigots?

every trick in the book.

Those states also do not recognize individual rights or the fact that because we pay equal taxes and do not receive equal rights. We are no different then Rosa Parks being sent to the back of the bus. STAND UP FOR EQUALITY FOR ALL EQUAL TAX PAYERS.

It is actually nine states - NH withdrew. NH law already recognizes gay marriage from other states. There is no conflict with the CA ruling. A gay marriage in another state will be recognized as a civil union in NH. NH legalized civil union in January.

Interesting that most of the ten states mentioned already have passed their own state constitutional amendments banning same-sex marriage. So I fail to understand why they feel the need to meddle in California's internal affairs.
