Th Attorney General of Mississippi has issued a statement saying if a clerk issues a marriage license to same-sex couples he doesn't have a problem with that. Not exactly a ringing endorsement of the Supremes. The AG had said that same-sex marriages in Miss. couldn't begin until the 5th Circuit lifted it stay. He now says those comments were misinterpreted. So marriages have begun in Mississippi!
In Louisiana Governor Bobby Jindal has said his state will comply with Friday's ruling, though he added comments in support of religious liberty. Earlier today I saw a map showing which Louisiana parishes were issuing marriage licenses to same-sex couples and which weren't. They seem to be slowly shifting to granting licenses.
Last I heard about Texas getting a marriage license depended on which county one was in.
And then there is Alabama where state Supremes Chief Justice Roy Moore is grasping at any argument that just might work to keep same-sex marriage out of his state.
A straight couple discovered Brentwood Photography supports marriage equality and canceled the studio's services for their wedding. Brentwood said, sorry to see you go. As for that nonrefundable retainer – we've donated it to GLAD to support gay rights.
The Jewish Political Action Committee, an orthodox group, staged a protest alongside NewYork's Pride Parade. Though the protesters wore traditional Jewish prayer shawls, they weren't Jewish – they were paid Mexican laborers. The rabbi said he paid for protesters so the Jewish boys wouldn't be exposed to what they might see in the parade.
