Judge Ends Marriage Equality's Undefeated Streak Since SCOTUS Ruling
http://talkingpointsmemo.com/dc/tennesse...ing-streak

Quote:A state judge in Tennessee has upheld a law banning recognition of same-sex marriages, snapping the extraordinary winning streak for marriage equality in several dozen state and federal courts since the Supreme Court ruling U.S. v. Windsor in June 2013.

Circuit Court Judge Russell E. Simmons ruled that Tennessee need not recognize the union of Frederick Michael Borman and Larry Kevin Pyles-Borman, who married in August 2010 in Iowa. The judge invoked Tennessee's state laws defining marriage as between one man and one woman.

"Tennessee's laws further provide that if another state allows persons to marriage [sic] who are prohibited from marriage in Tennessee, then that marriage is void and unenforceable in Tennessee," he wrote in a ruling last Tuesday, which has now been published online by Lyle Denniston of SCOTUSblog.
