MISSISSIPPI!
From Jackson, Ms's The Clarion-Ledger "U.S. District Judge Carlton Reeves on Tuesday handed same-sex couples a victory in their quest to overturn Mississippi's gay marriage ban.
Reeves granted a preliminary injunction blocking the state's ban against same-sex unions as sought by the Campaign for Southern Equality and two lesbian couples who had sued in the state in federal court. But the judge also postponed the injunction from going into effect for 14 days in a legal maneuver called a "stay."
This means same-sex couples cannot yet obtain marriages licenses in Mississippi.
In his 72-page order, Reeves said "Mississippi continues to change in ways its people could not anticipate even 10 years ago. Allowing same-sex couples to marry, however, presents no harm to anyone. At the very least, it has the potential to support families and provide stability for children."
Blah blah, its stayed , blah blah - but WHO CARES, MISSISSIPPI ( and ARKANSAS as well today! a twofer)
Hany your head in shame GEORGIA, MISSISSIPPI beat you to marriage equality .....
