Irony:
Gay marriage is not recognised as valid in Newyork, cant get divorced if not married.

I wonder what Molly Fitzgeralds stance on gay marriage is, because by actioning the “divorce” she’s setting legal precedence and validity for the marriage, one small step for gay rights in NY?

These couple should be luck that NY gave them any recognition at all. It is the perfect example of how WE THE PEOPLE are forced to recognize GAY MARRIAGE even though IT IS AGAINST THE LAW. Here in Texas, you cant get married and you cant get divorced. WHY? because it is against the LAW and if its against the LAW , IT AIN’T RECOGNIZED. I always heard New Yorkers had balls, but they are kissin butt to a bunch of fairies

>The Law of United state of America is SCREW UP!!!! NY not allow same sex marriage, but, allow same sex divorce??
is it make sense???

Guys, think back to your high school civics class. Many of our laws vary by state. The drinking age can differ. Age of consent laws differ. If you move to another state, your licenses may or may not transfer (for example, as an LICSW social worker, in many states, I’d have to take the tests again to get the equivalent license in that other state).

So, to answer your question, YEAH, it makes sense! Not all states have the same laws. The reciprocity laws of marriage are actually an exception to how state laws operate, not the rule.

Well, New York does RECOGNIZE same-sex marriage from other states. You can be married next door in Connecticut, Massachusetts or Canada, and your marriage is recognized by the state of New York, as well as by insurance agencies.

This is why we need marriage quality. Without it, things like division of property cannot be done equally.
