So many years of being second class, too many years of mob rule...it's hard to believe we could finally get marriage equality across the country. |

As expected, a stay of 14 days was granted today. The stay will allow the State time to appeal the decision to the Federal appeals court.

Chile
Chile's same-sex civil unions bill passed its first hurdle today, and with two more votes to be taken appears scheduled to pass without incident.
Chile, like many countries, takes religion out of legal marriages; all couples marry civially, and then have an additional wedding in whichever church/venue they choose. Wtg Chile! |

The State has the option of filing with the appeals court for a stay, and should that be denied, filing with the SCOTUS. The SCOTUS has begun to deny all requests for stays, so it should be a waste of time and tax money. |

France
France's highest court ruled today that a french national and a Moroccan citizen could be married. Prior to this ruling, France would only marry a couple where one was not a citizen, if same-sex marriage was legal in both countries.
What a huge step for love! |

8th district court of appeals
The 8th district court of appeals has agreed to hear appeals from the states of Missouri, Arkansas and South Dakota. The three states have had their same-sex marriage bans overturned, and are appealing the decision.
What a waste of taxpayer dollars. |

The head judge of the Alabama Supreme Court is fighting the ruling by telling judges and clerks not to issue licenses...at this time only 4 counties are issuing licenses against his order. In 2003, the same judge was removed from office for refusing to remove a washing machine size monument to the Ten Commandments from the courthouse. |

Texas
A Travis County probate judge just ruled that the ban on same-sex marriage is unconstitutional.
The case was brought forth by a woman who lost her long time partner of 7 years just last year, and wanted to have their relationship legitimized as a common-law marriage for survivorship purposes. The Clerk of the Court has declined to issue same-sex marriage licenses due to the case currently under consideration by the 5th circuit court of appeals. |

Texas
The Texas Supreme Court just stepped in and put a stay on all further marriages in Travis county until all appeals have been heard.
The marriage performed earlier today is still valid, but the Attorney General says he is looking for a way to invalidate the marriage. Asshat |

Alabama
Alabama Supreme Court Judge Murdoch has said, that should the Supreme Court decide to make marriage equality the law of the land, he will try to convince the ASC to end ALL marriages in that state.
Do they lie awake at night thinking this shit up? The SCOTUS would then need to decide if marriage was a fundamental right under the US Constitution, and if so Alabama would have to comply. |

The President of Finland signed marriage equality into law this week! However, due to Legislative changes that need to occur, marriages will not begin until 2017.
Way to go Finland! |

Alabama
An open records request (emails, telephone records, etc...) has been filed against head Supreme Court Justice Roy Moore by the HRC. The premise is that Roy Moore headed up the lawsuit against marriage equality in the state of Alabama, which is a HUGE no-no for a judge.
