(...) well, part of the rest of the world already has this law.
Indeed. And something I find incredibly intriguing: whilst the US legalizes gay marriage only in some States (other ones are free to reject it) a lot of other countries don't. They legalize it for the entire Nation. Is that in the USA's Constitution or something? I really don't know.
It boils down to the history of the country and its early days of being made up of colonies. Because of the size of the 'country' then, things that happened in Georgia, say, may not have mattered to those in Rhode Island. So while the Constitution was about a nation, and establishing national rights/laws/etc, there was focus on state's rights due solely to geography - environment, flora, fauna, etc. So we have state's rights, and state's that enjoy and revel in their very separate laws/rights. The issue comes with things like civil rights, which should probably supercede the state and be for the nation (though civil rights are lumped in with state's rights due to the Civil War, most likely).Luna Siwora wrote...

But...that's a different discussion. The above was merely meant to be a brief summary to answer your question. Hopefully it helped.

Basically yes. Each state is different.

It really should be passed for the entire country. Since when is Marriage breaking the law? It's not like you get special privledges when youd o get married. Church's don't have signs that say "get marrie dand win a $1,000,000!!!!!" It's a long term commitment (most times) and if two people wanna commit to each other, let them.

You do get special privleges when married, which is the whole point.

That is exactly why I approve this and why I feel great towards any matter concerns this. Knowing that now I am actually able to have the same HUMAN rights is just wonderful.

I agree, it's good, but there will be a backlash among special interest groups now who will fund all sorts of legal roadblocks for any practical implications for the law. I hope those celebrating are prepared. It's going to get ugly.

While Gaga may not be gay, or at least has not declared herself to be, she gets to be an honorary family member, I think.
