Judge overturns Mississippi same-sex marriage ban

JACKSON, MS (AP) –
A federal judge has overturned Mississippi’s ban on same-sex marriage, but he is putting his order on hold for two weeks so the state can appeal. U.S. District Judge Carlton Reeves issued a preliminary injunction Tuesday.

State attorneys have already said they will ask the 5th U.S. Circuit Court of Appeals to block Reeves’ order.
