Same sex marriage licenses will be issued beginning Tuesday morning Webster Clerk of Court Holli Vining said.
Upon recommendation from legal counsel from the Louisiana Clerks of Court Association, Vining says they are getting the forms ready.
“I was waiting on a ruling from the Fifth Circuit Court of Appeals, but upon legal advice, we will begin issuing marriage licenses (Tuesday),” she said. “We are in the process of getting our licenses changed over in preparation for in the morning.”
The licenses currently have places for a “bride and groom” and “Mr. and Mrs.” but those were changed Monday to accommodate the new law.
There is a 25-day rehearing period where the ruling can be questioned. As to whether that will happen, no one knows.
The United States Supreme Court issued a ruling Friday making same sex marriage legal in all 50 states. The court’s 5-4 ruling means the remaining 14 states in the south and Midwest will have to stop enforcing their bans on same sex marriages.

Once again the Supreme Court is granting federal authority to a constitutionally STATE issue. Two members are openly gay-friendly, and in any other court they would have recuse themselves because their opinions are tainted by pro-Sodomite ideology. Hope someone challenges this….there is absolutely nothing about marriage in our Constitution!!
sorry folks but I am sick of a group that consists of less than 5% of the US population beiung powerful enough to get a case to the Supreme [Kangaroo] Court and have laws passed by state legislatures all knocked down by soem judges who wouldn’t know the Constitution if someone beat them with it.
er-ah…that thang that sez there is two posts…well thers wuzin’t but ONE before I jumped into the fray. If two men or two wimmen can now legally [by MAN’s law], what’s just around the corner? Men marrying under-age children? Folks what has already got a husbin or wifey goin’ after a 2nd or 3rd? Gonna be interesting watchin’ how it all shakes out as America swirls down tha toilet bowl. Yep! Fundamentally changing America! Howz that a-workin’ out fer ya????
