Judge Clarifies Scope of Alabama Same-Sex Marriage Ruling

U.S. District Judge Callie V.S. Granade issued an order clarifying her ruling that Alabama's bans on same-sex marriage violate the equal protection and due process protections in the 14th Amendment, the Washington Blade's Chris Johnson reports. The clarification came after the Alabama Probate Judges Association issued a non-binding order saying the decision only applies to the plaintiffs before Granade, and the judge's order implies that the ruling has universal effect in Alabama.
