| Description | Wyoming Republicans have introduced legislation that would void same-sex marriages performed in areas where gays and lesbians can legally wed. If passed it would mean Wyoming gays could not travel to Canada or any of the European countries where same-sex couples can marry.
Massachusetts, the only state where gay marriage is legal, has limited it to couples from that state and from Rhode Island.
But the Wyoming measure would also mean that couples from areas were they were allowed to marry could not come to the state, which calls itself 'The Equality State' and have their marriages recognized either by the state or by private businesses.
Wyoming already has a so-called Defense of Marriage law that mandates marriages conducted in the state must be between a man and woman. The new measure would strengthen that act.
