On the one hand, US Senior District Judge Terence Kern struck down the state's ban on gay marriage.
On the other, he stayed the effect of that strike pending action in higher courts (which will likely resolve the issue via a Utah case that is further along the appellate process.)

Something is very fishy about this thread.

you guys are floundering as there's already a thread about this in the politics section. or was this done on porpoise? so... for now we'll keep this thread on deck as long as it remains a friendlier discussion. but i'll have to close it if folks start trolling and give me a haddock. -Marlin

I like that they banned the ban but you know they will keep on trying. With all the misery of teen pregnancies and abused children in this state maybe they should not worry so much about 2 people that love each other that want to get married.

I didn't even think to look in the politics thread first. I stopped fishing that stream a while back.

Oh lord. LOL

Serious comment quick: Great news. Did the thread in the political section because I didn't expect it to stay civil for long - so far so good for the most part.

Now since someone said fish sticks, I need some custard.

Oklahoma should just legalize gay marriage? Wouldn't we be the first state in the midwest/south to do it? Can you get married with a partner of the same sex in Oklahoma at this current point in time?

In order:
Many would disagree. Many would not.
No certain.
No. The effect of the judge's recent order was stayed (geld) by the judge, pending resolution in the case in Utah.
