    Is that why I had to fly to a different state to marry my gf instead of my home state who does not recognize same sex marriages?

          In this case it is. All 50 states are required to perform gay marriages as of June 26th, 2015. The ruling took immediate effect nationwide. Clerks were having to hand-edit marriage licenses to allow for same-sex certificates because within an hour of the ruling people were showing up at courthouses to get married in states where it had been illegal.

          Churches aren’t required to perform same-sex marriages nationwide, however.

      So now it’s demonstrated this can’t be true was it a lie and if so why? If not then what extra details make it plausible?
