Indiana will Honor other States' Gay Marriages


A federal judge said that Indiana must recognize gay marriages performed in other states, however this ruling doesn't start until the 7th Circuit Court of Appeals is done with this case.

Here's more:
U.S. District Judge Richard Young decided Indiana must recognize the marriage of Michelle and Shannon Bowling of Indianapolis, who were married in Polk County, Iowa, on Jan. 18, 2011. Shannon Bowling is employed by the Indiana Department of Correction, and couple sued to seek state benefits for Michelle Bowling and her children from a previous relationship.

The 7th Circuit is scheduled to hear oral arguments next week on the state's appeal of a previous ruling by Young throwing out Indiana's same-sex marriage ban.

The Indiana attorney general's office says it had sought the stay that Young granted.
