http://www.pinknews.co.uk/2014/11/12/us-judge-strikes-down-ban-on-same-sex-marriage-in-south-carolina/Get ready for right-wing pols and televangelists to scream that this is destroying civilization and we have to give them money and blah, blah, blah.
Meanwhile, people who aren't crazy will get on with their lives.
US District Judge Richard Mark Gergel ruled today that the states Amendment 1, which bans the recognition of all unions aside from marriage between a man and a woman, was unconstitutional.
Judge Gergel stayed the decision until next Thursday, November 20, when couples will be able to begin to marry unless the state takes action to halt the ruling in the meantime.
