Appeals Court Issues Freeze On Indiana’s Same-Sex Marriage

A federal appeals court in Chicago has granted a stay on same-sex marriage in Indiana.

The ruling now limits local clerk’s offices from issuing the license to same-sex couples while leaving those issued last week in question.

The Indiana Attorney General asked judges in Chicago to put a hold on same-sex marriages while his office files an appeal.

Last Wednesday, U.S. District Judge Richard Young ruled Indiana’s law violated the equal protection clause in the Constitution. The decision led to gay marriage license’s issued in many Indiana counties, including Dearborn and Ripley.

A final ruling on the issue may likely come from the U.S. Supreme Court.
