(135,425 posts)You can get married in all states, and your marriage in one state is recognized in the rest of 'em.

(52,164 posts)Those states that currently don't have marriage equality still don't until either the state decides not to push the issue or a federal court in their jurisdiction issues an order. In any case, within a month it will be pretty much over legally.

So I don't know what they're waiting for, since she's obviously going to lift the stay so her own pro-equality ruling can go into effect.
