A Federal Judge ruled on Thursday (yesterday) that ALL courthouses are required to begin issuing marriage licenses to same-sex couples on 1/6.

At this time, 5 counties have said they will issue the licenses, but in order to avoid having to marry same-sex couples, they will CEASE all marriages at the courthouses.
