Conservative states balk at same-sex marriage decisions – LGBTQ Nation

Sitting here wondering, how much time and money states like Kansas have wasted in pursuit of their hate agenda,,,

Conservative officials in some of the six states where Supreme Court action this week likely cleared the way for same-sex weddings say they won’t issue marriage licenses to gay couples until their hands are forced.

Now, gay rights advocates are preparing to do just that.

Kansas Attorney General Derek Schmidt noted that, to date, no court has squarely decided whether the Kansas Constitution’s prohibition of same-sex marriage is invalid and that the state will deal with any litigation when it comes. Wyoming and South Carolina are taking similar stands.

“The people have spoken on this,” said Kansas’ Republican governor, Sam Brownback, who is fighting a close re-election battle in which he needs conservative support.

“I don’t know how much more you can bolster it than to have a vote of the people to put in the constitution that marriage is the union of a man and a woman,” he said.

Wyoming’s Republican governor, Matt Mead, said the state will defend its constitution’s definition of marriage as permissible only between a man and woman. He said he doesn’t think the Supreme Court’s action this week applies to a Wyoming case challenging that definition, which is set for a hearing in December.
