this was my last question about this
and who downed my people? i gave all you guys ups....thats not nice.
i'm just curious because as to what the law would say, if lets say a gay couple visit another country and something happens to them in that country..what are there rights? thanks guys

Technically yes, though the visited country may not choose to recognize it.

No, one country is not obligated to practice another's law. Not to mention here in the US, it's state laws that consitute gay rights.

Not unless you are a citizen of that country who moves to another country and gets in trouble there. Then you and your spouse could appeal to your consulate(your embassy). But generally other countries are not obligated to recognize something that is not legal in their countries. For example, I know a straight couple who got married in Germany, they now live in the U.S. (they are americans). For all intents and purposes, in the eyes of the U.S. they are not actually married, because they didn't marry in the U.S. Hope this helps.

No, it is not possible.
Since for instance the US doesn't accept gay marriage, if we go to visit there, once I'm in US airspace I'm single again and when I back in Belgium I'm married...
Strange hey...

a lot of rights travel, but the states choose what they recognize...usually that standard it that it cannot "shock the conscience" and it has to "uphold the standards of the community"...I didn't make that up...it is OLD legal language.

So the states refuse to recognize it b/c they say it offends or shocks the conscience. It is up to the states to recognize marriage b/c it was left to them in the constitution, therefore it is up to the states to decide if they recognize a marriage of two of the same sex from another country.

They won't...they don't even recognize a civil union from another US state, but if they were decent they COULD recognize it.

yes

It depends on the marriage laws in the country you are visiting. Some anti-gay marriage laws have language written in them that specifically says they does not recognize gay marriage performed in other jurisdictions.

We have one state in the US (Massachusetts) that allows gay marriage and the rest of the states do not have to recognize the marriage so therefore I would assume the US would not recognize marraiges from other countries.

To answer this question I will give you an example of what happened just a few years ago.
Mexico. 14 year old is legally married to a 20 year old they come to the US and she has their baby here he is arrested for statutory rape. She had to go back to Mexico and have them petition for her husband to be released to them. They were both Mexican Citizens. Baby is US Citizen. Even though they were married it was illegal here in the US.

There are some countries that are now recognizing gay marriages that are performed in other Countries. This website will tell you about a gay couple married in Canada that is just now able to have their marriage recognized in their country.
