Gay Marriage Bans Defeated, Ruled "Unconstitutional" -- Indiana & Utah
A federal judge in Indiana ruled that the state's ban on gay marriage is unconstitutional because it violates the "equal protection" clause. Some lawmakers in the state have been pushing to add a ban to the Indiana State Constitution, but that effort has been losing momentum as of late.
The Indiana Attorney General is expected to appeal the federal district judge's ruling.
Good luck with that. Utah appealed a federal district judge's earlier ruling that its ban on gay marriage was unconstitutional -- today that appeal was denied.
