A Federal Judge declared Colorado's Gay Marriage Ban Unconstitutional


Judge Raymond P. Moore struck down Colorado's gay marriage ban yesterday, however he temporarily put the ruling on hold to give the state until next month to appeal the decision.

Here's more:
Judge Raymond P. Moore's ruling was in response to a lawsuit filed July 1 by six gay couples who asked the court for an injunction ordering that the state's ban no longer be enforced.

Colorado Republican Attorney General John Suthers and Democratic Gov. John Hickenlooper had requested a stay so the issue could eventually be decided by the U.S. Supreme Court — though both agreed the state ban should be declared unconstitutional.
Haters will appeal, but lose in the end.

Carlos and I have been invited to attend a meeting with the litigants and lawyers in a case brought against South Carolina's marriage ban.
Should be interesting.
