Idaho
A Federal Judge has struck down Idaho's ban on same-sex marriage.
More to follow on whether a stay will be issued pending the States appeal of the decision. Yayyyy Idaho! |

Oregon
The courts just ruled that the National organization for Marriage (NOM h8ers), cannot defend the ban against same sex marriage in court in the place of the Governor, who refuses to justify hate. The decision whether or not to strike down the ban should come any day.
Meanwhile in Idaho, the Judge who struck down their ban is refusing to issue a stay, and in the event the 9th district (federal) court will not step in and stay the order, marriages in Idaho will begin Friday. The 9th district court is the same one that left California hanging with a stay for so long, so unless they have changed i see a stay ahead for Idaho as well. |

As expected, the Ninth District Court of Appeals has granted a stay until the State has exhausted all appeals.

Arkansas
Congratulations to our own Jackhammer and Medusa on their recent marriage. May God give you enough of everything to make your lives long and happy together.
In other Arkansas news, the judge that overturned the ban originally, has now overturned all laws that pertain in any way to same-sex marriage, due to a Federal Court saying he had not gone far enough in his decision. As of 1 hour ago, Pulaski county is the ONLY county issuing licenses, as the other counties are refusing to do so because they are "confused". More when news becomes available. |

Arkansas
The Arkansas Supreme Court has issued a stay on the Judges ruling allowing same-sex marriage, until all appeals are exhausted by the state.
I assume those married during the last week are married still, but hopefully they will come out and let folks know soon. |

Oregon
A Federal Judge just overturned Oregon's same-sex marriage ban, and the first licenses have been issued.
There should not be a stay issued, as neither the Governor of Oregon or the Attorney General will ask for an appeal, and the hate group NOM has been denied the right to appeal. WTG Oregon! |

Utah
The State of Utah was ordered by a Federal Court today to declare the 1200 same-sex marriages done before their stay was put in place, to be valid.
Utah tried to declare the marriages as not valid, but to do so would create hardship and distress to those couples married during the brief time it was legal. Whoop!! Last edited by MsTinkerbelly; 05-19-2014 at 07:35 PM. |

Pennsylvania
A decision is expected soon (possibly today), on marriage equality in Pennsylvania.
The State has gone to considerable expense to hire a private Attorney to defend the ban, as the Attorney General said he could not further the cause for hate and unequal rights. |

Just a thought...there are 18 states and the District of Columbia which now allow equal marriage, and with the others in limbo (Utah, Texas, Arkansas, Idaho, Oklahoma-->8-9 total) awaiting final outcomes, by the end of the year there could be half more/less of the states having passed marriage equality. The final half i see over the next 5 years unless the United States Supreme Court steps in and makes a blanket law for all.
There are States where you can still be fired for being gay, and/or be denied housing and other services, and although equal marriage will help, other laws must be changed as well for our brothers and sisters to have a chance at real equality. Last edited by MsTinkerbelly; 05-20-2014 at 10:53 AM. |

Pa is a progressive state as far as the majority here. When polled on the rights of same sex marriage my state is in favor at about 50% I would say IMOP our Gov will not file a stay and appeal this.

Illinois
Same-sex marriage licenses began to be issued today in Illinois!
Marriage equality was passed a while back, but did not go into effect until June 1st. WTG!!! |
