Problems getting marriage license in AL? AU wants to hear from you

LEGAL ALERT: Marriage Licenses Being Denied In Alabama, In Defiance Of Federal Court Ruling!

CONTACT AMERICANS UNITED NOW! legaldept@au.org | (202) 466-3234

As of Feb. 9, same-sex couples have the legal right to marry in Alabama. But some county probate judges, prodded by the state’s extreme Supreme Court Chief Justice Roy Moore, are refusing to issue licenses to same-sex couples. If this has happened to you, call Americans United. We will defend your rights!
 
Call our legal hotline at (202) 466-3234 or email legaldept@au.org

As of Monday morning, news media was reporting defiance in the following counties: Clarke, Covington, Elmore, Lee, Marengo, Pike, Shelby, Tuscaloosa and Washington.

Why are these renegades being allowed to ignore the Court's order?

They need to ponder their religious convictions from the comfort of a jail cell.
