That iternet **** is going to your head.
The law is not retroactive, you and your husband's marriage is still legal.

As far as the IBTL, if you won the state lottery last year and spent all of the money in a lump some, would it be right if the state said they ****ed up the drawing and wanted all of the money back?
Fair is fair. If the state ****ed up it's laws, it's not right for them to retroactively punish whomever benefited from it.
We're still a secular nation despite what many people think, so I wouldn't be surprised if this issue resurfaces in another form next election.

So we're stupid because banging clams can't lead to procreation?

Initially, I've misjudged you; wrongly interpreted some of the remarks (sarcasm, no doubt), as confirmed statements.
I'm ashamed..... LOL
Having read your past & recent replies, I must say - and give credit where credit's due - that it's good to see there are folks that still practice what they believe/preach.

The people who were legally married deserve to have that status retained. However...
As a "liberal" , I don't have a problem with this decision. This is definitely a states rights issue and thus belongs to the people. If the constituency was tasked with deciding what is right for itself via ballot initiative, then that is all she wrote. We cannot have the courts operating under a "We know you like your little democratic circle jerks, but we don't grant them authority" trajectory.
If the gay marriage rights supporters want to try again with the ballot, I say let them go for it. I'll do my part to support via voting, but I don't want said vote to be abrogated after the fact because of sour grapes.

Oops.... Sorry... That's a different topic altogether... LOL

I just wish states would get out of the marriage business all-together. Civil Unions for all. If you want a "marriage" go to your church and get your "marriage"

I agree wholly.
The government should handle the unions and it should have all the legal benefits that come with it.
"Marriage" on the other hand should just be a religious ceremony and left at that - you get all the religious benefits of it and if you don't want to - don't do it.
I really am tired of hearing about how religions 'own' marriage and how it is 'theirs' to dictate whom can or cannot union.
