Republicans target same sex marriage

What marriage ban?
Some states refused to recognise the marriage. The marriages still went ahead. It wasn't illegal for same sex couples to marry during the DOMA years.

Having a Wedding does not define the act of legally getting Married.

So you agree that in Arkansas, Georgia, Louisiana, Kentucky, Michigan, Missouri, Mississippi, Nebraska .. etc they had specific laws banning same sex marriage.

You have to breakdown what a Marriage is: It's a ceremony and/or a legal declaration. if it's just a ceremony, it's not a marriage. If it cannot be a legal declaration it's not a marriage.

Its like arguing a promise is a contract.

An oral contract, yes.

An Englishman's word is his bond, that sort of thing.

The same cannot be said for many Englishmen these days.

Especially if they vote for the likes of Farage, and applaud the actions of Trump.

Good luck enforcing a promise.

Oral contracts on the other hand are perfectly enforceable.

The muddle-go-round would be Odds not knowing the difference.

If i take your definition under consideration then i'd ignore all your legal 'advice' as a muddled mess of incoherent waffle.

Irrelevant. It wasn't illegal for same sex couples to marry during the DOMA years. The fact that certain states did not recognise it irrelevant.

Ahh so they were "married" but not Married. :LOL:
So if they wanted to get Divorced, did they get Divorced or "divorced" or didn't they need to because they weren't Married? :LOL:
