Downtown Salt Lake City today...

And today Kentucky joined the party, partially! A fed judge has said that the state has to recognize all marriages legally performed in other places. The state doesn't have to allow same-sex marriages to be performed here, at least not yet, but it's a huge step, completely out of the blue.

I'm looking forward to the day when this is a non-issue. The generational shift gives me hope!

It's more than a bit sad that there's been no word from the governor or the AG (both democrats) on if the state will appeal. While the governor is in his final term and swears he's never running for office again, his son is a candidate for AG, and the current AG might run for governor, so they're both likely a bit scared. A recent poll found that 65% of Kentuckians support our anti-marriage amendment, after all. Pretty major move from when it passed 75% to 25% in 2004, however....

Today Jennifer Rambo and Kristin Seaton were the first couple to be legally married in Arkansas after a Circuit Court Judge found the Arkansas constitutional amendment banning gay marriage unconstitutional and did not stay the ruling.
