Gay inmate fights visitation halt for husband in Kansas
Christopher Yates, a 34 year old inmate at Norton Correctional Facility, alleges discrimination after being denied visits from his husband, legally wed in Iowa.

A prison spokesman says visitation discretion lies with each warden and lacks a formal policy. Lambda Legal notes the case is unusual but may become more common as same sex marriages spread.
