Wyoming appears to be next, by Monday:

A quiet detail there:

About 60 people watched the proceedings, most of whom support same-sex nuptials. In a corner sat Dennis and Judy Shepard, parents of Matthew Shepard, a gay University of Wyoming college student who was fatally beaten in 1998.

Further Arizona update -- AG not appealing so it's done and dusted there.

Kansas in yesterday:

This leaves Montana and South Carolina as the last states to adjust to circuit court rulings so far.

The other shoe finally drops! 6th Circuit (sadly) upholds bans, this is off to the Supreme Court now:

all right now the betting on what Roberts will do gets interesting. Kennedy writing for the majority striking down bans seems inevitable if Roberts dissents in the end.

How many states are we up to now? 31?

Delbert Gravy (kingfish), Friday, 7 November 2014 01:58 (nine years ago) link

33, I think, verging on 36.

The dominos have fallen very rapidly, haven't they? I don't see how all those thousands of marriages could possibly be undone now by the Roberts court. It would be chaos, pure and simple.

So what? Thomas sez if the precedents are wrong, change'em.

No lie: Last week I dreamed that Alfred was engaged my sister but decided to marry me at the last minute instead! Dunno why he wanted to - I was too intimidated to talk movies with him so we just made small talk instead.

According to the ACLU, once the stay is lifted, Florida must recognize all same-sex marriages performed out of state.

This is a great step forward, but to me it was more exciting that the SCOTUS voted 7-2 against Florida's attempt to extend a stay against recognizing gay marriages to Alfred. People who hate gay marriage to Alfred should read the writing on the wall and quake in their shoes.
