Kitchen v. Herbert (UT)
SCOTUS ruling issued 10/6/2014
Three same-sex couples filed a federal lawsuit challenging Utah’s laws prohibiting same-sex couples from marrying and refusing to respect the legal marriages of same-sex couples who married in other states. The district court ruled the ban was unconstitutional, which the state of UT appealed. The Tenth Circuit upheld the district court decision, and the state of UT then appealed to the US Supreme Court, where on October 6, 2014 SCOTUS struck down UT as well as OK’s same-sex marriage bans.
