Indiana’s Gov. Pence Won’t Recognize Last Month’s Same-Sex Marriages
GOP Governor makes a theatrical fight that’s going to lose & he knows that, this is posturing for the cavemen who run his party.
The state of Indiana will not recognize several hundred same-sex marriages that took place after a federal judge overturned Indiana’s law, according to a memo from the governor’s chief counsel.
Mark G. Ahearn, chief counsel to Gov. Mike Pence, issued the memo Monday to all executive branches. It outlined the state’s position since the federal court struck down Indiana’s law forbidding gay marriages June 25 and the federal appeals court’s stay of that ruling June 27.
The memo said Indiana’s law against same-sex marriages “is in full force and effect and executive branch agencies are to execute their functions as though the U.S. District Court order of June 25 had not been issued.”
