Same-sex couples challenge Wyoming's ban on gay marriage

(Reuters) - Four same-sex couples filed a lawsuit on Wednesday challenging on constitutional grounds Wyoming's ban on gay marriage, a gay advocacy group said, following a recent string of court decisions striking down similar restrictions.
The couples argue the Western state's marriage restrictions and its refusal to recognize nuptials from other states violates guarantees of equal protection, according to a copy of the complaint provided by the National Center for Lesbian Rights.
The filing in a state court in Cheyenne could not immediately be confirmed in judicial records.
