A.  A marriage that is valid in the state where contracted, or in the state where the parties were first domiciled as husband and wife, shall be treated as a valid marriage unless to do so would violate a strong public policy of the state whose law is applicable to the particular issue under Article 3519.

B.  A purported marriage between persons of the same sex violates a strong public policy of the state of Louisiana and such a marriage contracted in another state shall not be recognized in this state for any purpose, including the assertion of any right or claim as a result of the purported marriage.

  1. Marriage Equality we need to fight it more on the Federal Level to be "Equal" why because states will deny "US" every time; might be able to Marry in some states but we cannot Marry someone in a foreign Country like Heteros can; just like medical marijuana needs to be legal on the federal level because it is difficult to get it for medical condition that would ease some of the pain that I live with due to complications of my treatment.
