@robertocucina: Absolutely, I was just to say the same thing. And also I don’t understand why a foreign state (the Vatican) has such a strong influence in American politics.

I just don’t understand why an out of state right wing christian organization, The Alliance Defense Fund based in Arizona is allowed to bring a challenge to the validity of recognizing same-sex marriages in our state which is what they did, ditto NOM in Maine.

Actually, it might not be a bad idea if Canada refused to recognize U.S. marriages. It might be a wake up call to our govenments of the folly of prohibiting and recognizing gay marriages, especially if other countries join Canada in the ban. It might also drive home the folly of allowing individual states to make their own decisions regarding marriage.

Canada may not recognize US same-sex marriage when parts of the US might recognize Canadian same-sex marriages?

Sounds like conservative Prime Minister Steven Harper has struck.

US as a federal government entity will not recognize same-sex marriages from inside or outside the US like from Canada, etc. but individual US states like New York or Massachusetts might.

Tara;

Our current government is conservative, so not much chance of that in the near future.

I have friends and family in Canada who are getting upset that the US is refusing to recongized Canadian marriages and there is talk that the Canadian government will not recongized US marriages.

I don’t know if it is just talk or not, but can you image the headaches this could cause.

Let’s stimulate the economy of Canada by going there to get married! We all know that money talks in America. During the Civil Rights era, Atlanta avoided the problems of Birmingham because the white businessmen of the city met with Martin Luther King and worked out a deal. They knew race riots were bad for business.

This was a seminal moment for Atlanta which is now a very prosperous city and has the reputation of the “City too Busy to Hate”.

Which of course is not at all true. It is the “City too Smart/Greedy to Give up its Money”.
