US: Soon only two states will have unchallenged same-sex marriage bans
There are currently only three states in the US which have same-sex marriage bans unchallenged in court.
Five gay and lesbian couples in the US state of Alaska filed a lawsuit on Monday challenging the state’s ban on same-sex marriage, leaving only three states with unchallenged bans.
The number will reportedly soon fall to two, as the Washington Post reports that a lawsuit is set to be filed in South Dakota any day.
Montana, and North Dakota will be the only two states with same-sex marriage bans without lawsuits challenging them.
Arkansas couples have already begun to wed since a ruling on Friday striking down that state’s ban. Over 300 couples have received marriage licences despite the ban still being defended.
