Stalled: US Supreme Court Blocks Gay Marriage In Utah

Must read

Marriage licenses for same-sex couples in Utah can no longer be issued, at least temporarily. The U.S. Supreme Court today ruled in favor of the state’s request to temporarily block enforcement of a recent ruling. The December 20 ruling struck down as unconstitutional a Utah law that banned same-sex marriage.

Hundreds of marriage licenses for same-sex couples have been issued by some Utah counties in the two weeks since the decision was announced. Utah voters approved the law banning same-sex marriage in 2004.

The action does not offer the final word on the constitutionality of the state law. A Denver-based federal appeals court will take up the larger issue on an expedited basis in coming weeks.
