Today in Marriage Equality - Alaska Ban Overturned

[elrhiarhodan]

In 1998, Alaska was the first state to impose a constitutional ban on same-sex marriages, and today, a Federal judge has overturned that ban, stating that it "violates the U.S. constitutional guarantee of due process and equal protection."

While the state could appeal to the 9th Circuit Court, the chances of it winning were slim since the federal appeals court already has ruled against Idaho and Nevada, which made similar arguments.
