Marriage Equality Bans Struck Down in Idaho, Nevada

HeadlineOct 08, 2014

A string of marriage-equality victories continues with bans struck down in two more states. On Tuesday, the Ninth Circuit Court of Appeals overturned LGBT marriage bans in Idaho and Nevada. The decision comes one day after the U.S. Supreme Court rejected appeals from five states whose marriage equality bans had previously been struck down. After Tuesday, LGBT marriage is now legal in 32 states — up from 19 just last week.
