Arizona became marriage equality state No. 31 this morning when a federal judge struck down the state’s ban calling it unconstitutional.
There’s no word yet on when the state will begin issuing marriage licenses. Arizona is in the Ninth Circuit, which recently struck down marriage bans in Nevada and Idaho. Those states and Alaska became marriage equality states this week.
Suits are pending in Kansas, South Carolina, Montana and Wyoming. Decisions are expected in those states soon. By the end of next week, there may be 35 marriage equality states.
In Texas, we’re working hard to ensure that we go down in history as last in equality as No. 50.
