Quote one or shuit the fuck up. Last chance.You are truly stupid. There are fifty such statutes. That you are to much a fucking moron to know that is your problem. Read the Texas AG's opinion. He quotes from the Texas statute.Quote the statute or shut the fuck up. Won't tell you again.I guess they did not teach reading in the backwards ass school named after some dead racist you attended. Every state currently has a law that requires that persons who wish to marry obtain a license from the state to register that marriage. That would be kinda why, you retarded product of inbreeding, that there was a case before the Supreme Court that addressed whether a state, when issuing said license, could only issue them to straight couples. Other than the few states that still recognize common law marriages, you are required to obtain a marriage license first. Can a state pass a new law that eliminates the license requirement and stops legally recognizing marriages? Sure. There could not be more than a handful of state officials who share your utter stupidity and would propose that.Quote the statute or shut the fuck up.Actually, there are state laws that do require that clerks or whoever is in charge of issuing them do so. In Texas the law states that a license "shall" issue. And even if there is discretion in the statute, if that discretion is exercised such that gay couples are not given licenses, that is illegal. You do realize that in about 99% of the country, clerks are issuing licenses without any problem, right?They wont. There is no law requiring a state to issue a marriage license.
States are not required to maintain a program of issuing marriage licenses. Arguably they should never have done that.
