Okay so the Prop 8 decision only effects California right?
Does the DOMA decision effect state laws defining marriage as only between 1 man and 1 woman?
To commemorate a past event, you kill and eat an animal. It's a ritual sacrifice, with pie.

No. States can still pass those laws at this point. All *legal* marriages will now be recognized by federal law, but states still define what is legal.

askye is me. What's the best sources for this people are using?
ETA: So if a couple gets married in a state where it is legal and moves to another state, where it is not, are they legally married, with the rights and privileges recognized and protected?

Our wings are not tired.
So, are the marriages that took place previously in CA now legal again?

You were a wrong baby who grew up wrong. The wrong kind of wrong. It's better you hear it from a friend.

Well not canonically, no, but this is transformative fiction.
I was just catching up on my fanart tumblr account and it's all filibuster liveblogging with a side of DOMA, and now I'm crying and I haven't even showered yet, and today is a go-into-the-office day.
WITH GAY RITES!
My friend Mike cast this -- I think they looked for people in online relationships where they had never met the other, but it was too hard to find many people who really didn't suspect
Who gives a fuck if you go to meet your online girlfriend who's both a girl and friendly? That shit must be skewed from the get go. I do love how much you get to see of cameras, though. There are like five on the car---maybe soon all moves will be found footage because everyone will mount phones on their cars like that and just do life.
I mean, there's perfect footage of that plane's engine exploding in the UK the other day, because some civilian said, "Hey, let me record a plane taking off, here at the airport of all places".
But, marriage!

Another question - could people use the DOMA decision as away to challenge laws in states where gay marriage is legal.
I mean, could a couple sue saying the law violates their Fifth amendment rights and use the DOMA ruling as some kind of precedent that it was overturned on a federal level?

Seriously! CNN gave me no love, gay or otherwise.

I think this is what DOMA was preventing, so yes? i.e. if you get married in California but honeymoon in Vegas, you stay legally married the whole time.
