Utah judge strikes down same sex marriage ban
U S District Judge Robert Shelby ruled Utah's constitutional ban on same sex marriage unconstitutional, granting licenses to gay couples in Salt Lake County. Governor Herbert criticized the ruling as activists push to defend traditional marriage as lawyers seek a stay pending appeal. The decision marks Utah as the 18th state moving toward legalized same sex marriage. The three couples suing include Karen Archer and Kate Call who married in Iowa and seek recognition in Utah.
