In spite of some right-wing grandstanding, marriage licenses are available for same-sex couples in all counties in Kansas, however your marriage certificate is useless because Kansas still refuses to recognize same-sex marriages as valid.

Meanwhile Louisiana is still waiting for the Feds to force them to recognize gay marriages, though SCOTUS already did that.

Kansas stands up for state constitution against judicial tyrants. Every state should do same.

How have you not been banned yet?

Anyway, I'm not sure you realize that this:



...didn't work?

In fact, Ike had to do this to get Arkansas to comply:

When you compare lack of gay marriage on demand to school desegregation, all credibility is lost.

The 14th Amendment was written in the 1860s to protect blacks from slavery and was co-opted by court to confer a right that never existed.

Nice try. We don't get to pick and choose what the constitution applies to. The 14th Amendment mandates that if a state is to grant a right, it must be applied equally to everyone. If it was only about race, it would have said so.

With that standard, states that have enacted conceal or open carry laws based on 2nd amendment should be afforded across the country.

The left has to be consistent.

Apples and oranges. That's something completely different.
