The question is was this a matter of validating their 1971 marriage? Or was this a vanity thing about their marriage was first?

"...contains the sole Mormon temple in the state..."

Did you mean the first Morman Temple in California?

"California currently has 7 temples in operation. Los Angeles California Temple. San Diego California Temple. Fresno California Temple. 116. Redlands California Temple. 122. Newport Beach California Temple. 123. Sacramento California Temple." Source Wicipedia

The Morman Temple in San Bernadino is actually in Redlands

Here is the alt-right first paragraph of the complaint.

"1. The U.S. Constitution stands as a bulwark against state officials who target
people—and seek to ruin their lives—because of the government’s anti-religious animus. For over six years now, Colorado has been on a crusade to crush Plaintiff Jack Phillips (“Phillips”) because its officials despise what he believes and how he practices his faith. After Phillips defended himself all the way to the U.S. Supreme Court and won, he thought Colorado’s hostility toward his faith was over. He was wrong. Colorado has renewed its war against him by embarking on another attempt to prosecute him, in direct conflict with the Supreme Court’s ruling in his favor. This lawsuit is necessary to stop Colorado’s continuing persecution of Phillips."

"Jack Phillips, the baker who recently won a case in the Supreme Court after refusing to bake a wedding cake for a same-sex couple, is back in the news, this time for refusing to make a cake for someone’s birthday because she’s transgender."

Do you think that the Georgia Log Cabin Republicans have a racial motive for their endorsement of Kemp?
