We the People... Lesbiatopia's Editors Explore the Wisconsin Gay Marrage Law

Over on another part of Current TV, debate is hot over a State of Wisconsin law that says if a same-sex couples from Wisconsin goes to California to get married, it is a criminal offense that threatens them with a $10,000 fine or up to 9 months in jail (or both) if they do marry in California.

This law was passed decades ago, says it is illegal to enter into a marriage outside the state if that marriage is not legal in Wisconsin and was enacted to prevent underage couples from crossing state lines to marry.

In 2006 Wisconsin voters passed a constitutional same-sex marriage ban; gay marriage is not legal in Wisconsin.

But up till last month this law was not really a problem Lesbians and Gays in that state because the only state that had gay marriage was Massachusetts.

In other words, if I got married in Massachusetts, my marriage would only be recognized in California.
