SUPREME COURT REFUSES TO STOP GAY MARRIAGES IN ALABAMA
On monday the Supreme Court refused to halt same-sex marriage in Alabama.Because Alabama's top judge instructed them to, probate judges in the state have been refusing to issue any licenses to marry. There was a request by Alabama Attorney General Luther Strange, to put a stay on the ruling that overturned the state's ban on gay marriage, but that expired on Monday. With the option to intervene by putting a hold on same-sex marriage, the Supreme Court declined to do so. Moore, the Alabama Supreme Court Chief Justice, complicated the matter by sending out a notice to all probate judges in the state, telling them to not issue marriage licenses to gay couples. Despite Moore's orders, many same-sex marriages did proceed in Alabama on Monday. But in other counties people weren't as lucky, couples in Tuscaloosa, Jackson and Marshall County were not permitted marriage license.
