Alabama: 13 Counties Are Still Refusing To Issue Same-Sex Couples Marriage Licenses
Southern Equality reports that 13 counties in Alabama are still refusing to issue marriage licenses to same-sex couples.
Come on, kids. What's it gonna take to get you to do your duty as an elected official? You can't pick and choose what parts of your job you will or will not do.
Across the 13 impacted counties, projected annual lost revenue totals $132,106.50 due to probate judges closing county offices.
A total of 330,236 people live in the 13 Alabama counties that are not issuing marriage licenses to any couples. Additionally, an estimated 313 same-sex couples live in the impacted counties, with an estimated 18% of them raising children.
