The Washington Post shares this update of the current status of counties in Alabama which are (or are not) issuing marriage licenses to same-sex couples.
Stay tuned as the situation in Alabama continues to be fluid. Last night in an interview with the AP, Gov. Robert Bentley seemed to be relenting a bit as he seems concerned about how this mess reflects on Alabama as a whole on the issue of civil rights:
The governor noted that Alabama is about to be in the spotlight again with the 50th anniversary of the Voting Rights Act of 1965, which was passed after civil rights marchers were attacked and beaten in Selma, Alabama — events chronicled in the Oscar-nominated movie "Selma."
"I don't want Alabama to be seen as it was 50 years ago when a federal law was defied. I'm not going to do that," Bentley said in an exclusive interview with The Associated Press.
"I'm trying to move this state forward."
In the past hour, the list grew by three as Limestone, Morgan and Elmore counties are now reportedly complying with Judge Granade's ruling.
good luck alabama... the walls are tumbling down and resistance is futile!
