Chapman University Law Professor Katherine Darmer on the impact of expected Prop. 8 ruling on recognition of out-of-state, same-sex marrriages

03/13/09 Orange County Register Buzz:

"Darmer thinks an argument could also be made, although not quite as easily, that gays married prior to June 16 should have their marriages recognized in California. Since the May state Supreme Court ruling found that, at that time, a ban on gay marriages was in conflict with the state constitution, gay marriages performed elsewhere prior to June 16 should be recognized here, she said."
