Here’s the status of gay marriage in all 50 states
Here’s the legal status of gay marriage in all 50 states, a day after the Supreme Court in one fell swoop effectively raised the number of states where the practice is legal from 19 to 30, in addition to Washington, D.C.:
WHERE GAY MARRIAGE IS LEGAL (And when it was legalized):
___
— CALIFORNIA (2013)
— COLORADO (Oct. 6, 2014) — The state attorney general on Tuesday ordered all the state’s counties to issue licenses now that the state Supreme Court has lifted previous orders barring that.
— CONNECTICUT (2008)
— DELAWARE (2013)
— HAWAII (2013) — The state Legislature legalized gay marriage last year, and couples continue to marry. Meanwhile, an appeal is pending of a federal court ruling that upheld Hawaii’s previous ban.
— ILLINOIS (June 2014)
— INDIANA (Oct. 6, 2014) — The federal appeals court in Chicago formally lifted Indiana’s ban Tuesday, lifting a stay that was in place while the Supreme Court considered the case.
— IOWA (2009)
— KANSAS (Oct. 6, 2014) — The American Civil Liberties Union says the Supreme Court decision in the 10th Circuit cases affects Kansas because it’s in that circuit; the group plans to seek a federal court ruling to block Kansas’ constitutional ban on gay marriage. Gov. Sam Brownback was defiant, saying he swore to uphold the constitution, and some same-sex couples who applied for marriage licenses were turned away.
