Same-Sex Marriage Update

iamkeri1 · 03-22-2014, 10:20 AM

This is the first good political news coming out of Michigan since Fox news took over all the news outlets 30 years ago, and turned my progressive, liberal, always in the forefront on social and civil rights issues, home state, into a conservative wasteland. I hope they do start marriages right away, that will make this ruling irreversible unless further legislation takes place.

Smooches,
Keri

As i suspected...

Marriages will be on hold until at least Wednesday in order to give the State time to appeal the decision. But, in a happy turn of events, hundreds of people were able to get married before the temporary stay was put in place, as Democratic county clerks added Saturday hours so that people could begin to marry immediately!

In Britian and Wales, same-sex marriage began today, with Scotland to follow in the fall.

Congratulations to both countries.

Ohio was ordered today to honor same-sex marriages from other states.

The decision will probably be stayed until all appeals are exhausted, and this was not a ruling for same-sex marriages done in Ohio, but is a positive step anyway.

There will be a decision handed down in two weeks in Arkansas. I have a feeling that the judge will send it to the surpreme court.

A Lawsuit representing 3same-sex couples and a recent widow was filed today, with an aim to overturning the 2004 ban passed on equal marriage.

Go Georgia!

Marriage equailty reigns in Arkansas, where the first of (hopefully) many marriages were performed today, and a total of 17 licenses were issued in one county. The AG has vowed to fight the ruling overturning the State ban, but so far no request has been filed. Stay tuned!

Congratulations Arkansas!!
