Distinction without a difference MT @chrisgeidner: Utah didn't say gay marriages were invalid, recognition "on hold until further notice."

@acarlson91 It's actually a distinction that could be a very big difference in many ways. -
@chrisgeidner a lack of recognition seems, from my view many states away, to accomplish the same thing as invalidity? educate me! -
@acarlson91 Both the Gov & AG stmnts acknowledge that, should the ruling be upheld on appeal, those marriages almost certainly are valid. -
@chrisgeidner which is great news (maybe!) for the future, not the present

@chrisgeidner But if the state is not recognizing them b/c it's on "hold" making these marriages invisible & by proxy invalid?!? -
@DeeTwoCents The effect may be similar, but he did not say they were invalid. -
@chrisgeidner Unfortunately for these couples it's not just semantics but a rebuttal of their right to commitment and love. -
@DeeTwoCents Thanks, Danielle, I wasn't aware of the stakes. -
@chrisgeidner I know you are well aware of the stakes--as we all are who fight for equality daily. Their decision is still a harsh reminder.
