...people have been allowed to wed anyone they wanted to for ages. The only stipulations are that you cannot marry a person of the same sex. This law has been applied equally all across the spectrum of gays lesbians bisexuals transgenders and those dreaded heterosexuals.

Alabama And Same Sex Marriage

MONTGOMERY, Ala. — The Alabama Supreme Court is ordering the state's probate judges to stop issuing marriage licenses to gay couples.

The all-Republican court sided with a pair of conservative organizations Tuesday in ruling that the U.S. Constitution doesn't alter the judges' duty to administer state law.

The court says Alabama has defined marriage as between only one man and one woman for about 200 years. And it says a federal court used "sleight of hand" in a case that resulted in most of Alabama allowing gay marriage last month.

The Alabama Policy Institute and the Baptist-run Alabama Citizens Action Program asked the court to halt same-sex unions after a federal judge in Mobile said Alabama laws banning them were unconstitutional.
