Good. It's about time. I really can't seem to fathom how it's anyone's business, especially the state.

The Alabama Attorney General's Office indicated it would continue to fight the case.

"We are disappointed and are reviewing the Federal District Court's decision," spokesman Mike Lewis said via email. "We expect to ask for a stay of the court's judgment pending the outcome of the U.S. Supreme Court's ruling which will ultimately decide this case."
What a surprise.

I wonder how many millions of dollars (money we don't have BTW) will be spent on a losing cause?

Congratulations to one Federal Judge who thinks he has the authority to override and redefine 2000 years of Church teaching and thousands more years of human history! Federal Judges always know best, don't they

The decision of this judge is based on an interpretation of what is constitutional purely & simply. How the church & it's teachings are related to the decision should not be conflated in with defending the former status quo.
In America, we must adhere to the Constitution & it's tenets.
Not that long ago, in the Western world, people were put to death for being gay & it still can happen in non-Western cultures. Unfortunately that often was/is the result of religious teachings & how man interprets the precepts of the Bible.

When it comes to the constitution..yes.

Its simple, if you don't like gay marriage then dont marry a gay person.
