......

But the state supreme court's decision threw the issue into question once more. The challenge was brought by the state and a county probate judge, among others. In its ruling, the Alabama Supreme Court said that all of the state's probate judges, including those listed as "Judge Does" in the legal filings, "are ordered to discontinue the issuance of marriage licenses to same-sex couples."

Lawyers who represented the same-sex couples seeking the right to marry in Alabama decried the ruling.

"It is deeply unfortunate that even as nationwide marriage equality is on the horizon, the Alabama Supreme Court is determined to be on the wrong side of history," Sharon Minter, of the National Center for Lesbian Rights, said in a statement. "The Court's action displays a callous disregard for the impact of this gratuitous decision on same-sex couples and their families, but those families should take heart that this is only a stumble along the way toward equality."
