CA: New Law Recognizes Gay Marriage From Out of State... Sort Of

SB54 specifies that same sex marriages are recognized in California. The marriages must meet one of two qualifications: a) they must have been entered into legally during the period of time when California offered gay marriage; b) they must have taken place before 11-05-2008 in a state that legally performs same sex marriage. Additionally, any gay marriage taking place after that date in a state that legally performs it will also be recognized in California - affording the brides or grooms all the rights and responsibilities that come with a marriage -- but the union will not legally be designated as "marriage."
