Breaking: Court Tells Utah Governor No Reason To Stop Same-Sex Marriages

[Fearless]

The 10th Circuit Court of Appeals has just denied the governor of Utah’s request to block a federal judge’s ruling on Friday that found banning same-sex marriage is unconstitutional.

Dozens of same-sex couples married Friday afternoon and evening. Weddings for same-sex couples, thanks to the Court’s ruling tonight, can thus continue on Monday.

The court found no reason to halt marriages, and stated the governor and acting attorney general had not provided any sound reason to.

“Because the motion before us does not meet the requirements of the Federal or local appellate rules governing a request for a stay,” the Court noted, “we deny the motion.”

3. AS someone who grew up in Utah...

I'm sort of overwhelmed with emotion right now. I never thought in my lifetime I would see same-sex marriage in Utah.
