Will their marriages be accepted in D.C.? And, what does this mean for same-sex marriages that occur in other countries as well as U.S. Territories?

Those marriages are legally recognized, as are legal marriages performed in other countries.

What I am wondering is whether marriages performed in other countries (i.e., Canada or Spain) will be recognized. Jeff, the legal gay marriages from CA will also be recognized.

I'm tired of hearing the whining from California. California, your misery is--whether fiscal or social--entirely self-inflicted. California is a beautiful place, but here in a piece about DC I keep hearing "California" like there's a parrot on meth. Please, Californians, go clean up the mess you inflicted on yourselves, and stop insisting that the rest of the country attend to you, or seek you out as the very font of social progressivism. You people blew it, and you need to focus on cleaning up your mess--and maybe listen to what people in other parts of the country have to say--before stopping the planet's rotation to make sure that you're being attended to. I'm not trying to denigrate anybody's marriage in the aftermath of 8, but please, just once, can you Californians acknowledge that there are 49 other godddamn states (and a Federal District, and a Commonwealth), several of which put your fiscal standards and social progress to utter shame? You soiled Paradise, not us. Please go deal with that. We love you and care about you, but in states like Ohio, we just don't have the goddamn time to nurse your wounded souls when we're still not even safe in our jobs. It's called perspective, and it's not just for art class. This is about DC. I’m tired of hearing the whining from California.

Wed, 08 Jul 2009 06:14:48 +0000 http://www.365gay.com/?p=8448#comment-66899 It is only the equalivant to New York model law - which I call "we recognise your same-sex marriage that was performed I a place where they are legally performed, if you fuck off out-of-this-state and come back eventually." DC IS THE BEST IN THE USA!!!! There is another law in DC remember: DC also has the "Domestic Partnership Judicial Determination of Parentage Act of 2009" coming into force on 20 July, 2009. This act will provide lesbian and gay men complete rights with there children (including adopted and biological). Do not get too excited yet the "Equality in Marriage Act" (this will legalize performed same-sex marriage in DC) has not passed as of 7/7/2009!!!! When will "conservative and redneck" California get rid of that Prop 8, so same-sex marriage is legal again???? (I would personally love to get that prop 8 law and put it through the shredder!!!!!)
