Utah Won’t Recognize Same-Sex Marriages

HeadlineJan 09, 2014

Utah has told hundreds of LGBT couples their marriages will not be recognized after the Supreme Court reinstated a ban earlier this week. Nearly 1,000 LGBT couples got married after a federal judge struck down the state’s ban on same-sex marriage late last month. But the Supreme Court halted the marriages on Monday pending Utah’s appeal of the judge’s ruling. Utah Gov. Bob Herbert has told state agencies not to recognize any same-sex marriages that took place in the two weeks when they were allowed. The case could end up before the Supreme Court.
