A federal judge struck down Wisconsin’s ban on same-sex marriage on Friday. Immediately, couples across the state tied the knot.
Though the Attorney General has already requested an emergency stay as the ruling will be appealed to the conservative Seventh Circuit Court of Appeals, clerks in Wisconsin started issuing marriage licenses an hour after the decision was released.
