This ruling took place right away, which led to dozens of same-sex couples rushing to their local clerk of courts offices in order to get married. Craig Bowen and Jake Miller appear to be the first same-sex couple to get married today in Indiana.
State officials in Indiana have expressed the intent to appeal this decision. In addition, the office of Attorney General Greg Zoeller has filed an emergency motion for a stay on new marriages pending their appeal.
Meanwhile, the federal appeals courts continue to side with same-sex couples in the state of Utah. An earlier federal court had declared that state's constitutional amendment to violate the U.S. Constitution. Earlier today, the 10th Circuit Court of Appeals agreed.
However, an immediate stay was filed and no new same-sex marriages were created in Utah today.
