Question: Will My Canada Gay Marriage be Recognized in California?

My partner and I were married in Canada earlier this year, where gay marriage is permitted. Are there any guidelines for reciprocity from Canada to California?

Answer: From the National Center for Lesbian Rights:
Yes, when the ruling goes into effect after the 30 days, California will recognize marriages between same-sex couples from other places like Canada and Massachusetts.
