Judges in 9 of 67 Alabama Counties Won’t Issue Marriage Licenses to Anyone, Just to Avoid Gays

Towleroad story here

From the article:


Judges in nine of Alabama’s 67 counties are using a forgotten segregation-era law to undermine the authority of the Supreme Court and deny marriage licenses to same-sex couples by refusing to issue any marriage licenses at all.

Kim did. No marriage licenses to anyone.

While same sex marriage is at the heart of this, all of the heterosexual couples who can't get married because of these idiots need to sue.

Most people plan their weddings sometime ahead, book a place for the ceremony and the reception, invite people, hire a caterer, order flowers, and so on. Couples whose weddings cannot go forward thanks to such assholes, need to hold their feet to the fire.
