THIS WEEK IN THE ROCK – IS THIS THE START OF WORLD WAR III?
http://www.rockcitytimes.com/week-rock-start-world-war-3/
Welcome to our first “This Week in the Rock”. We will take some of the top real news stories of the week, as well as a few that we find interesting, and try to give it a little RCT flair. Let us know what you think on Facebook, twitter, or in the comments, and feel free to send us any stories for consideration.
Millions of Marriages in Jeopardy After Same Sex Marriage Becomes Legal
This week’s big story came after Circuit Judge Chris Piazza ruled that Arkansas’ ban on same-sex marriage was unconstitutional. This struck down a 1997 law and a 2004 state constitutional amendment banning love of your fellow gender.
The fallout was swift and widespread. The Secretary of State’s office reports that over 150,000 divorces were filed through county clerk’s offices this week from heterosexual couples who could no longer trust the sanctity of their marriage. Meanwhile Little Rock and Saline County police officers are still managing massive riots that broke out around the Bass Pro Shops shopping center protesting the ruling.
