MONTGOMERY, Ala. (AP) -- Faced with another ruling from a federal judge, more reluctant Alabama counties began issuing gay marriage licenses Friday.
A few counties began issuing licenses this week after a federal ruling struck down the state's gay-marriage ban. But the issue has been clouded by a conflicting order from Alabama's chief justice, confusion among probate judges who grant the licenses, and the refusal of some county offices to open for any couples at all.
On Thursday, U.S. District Judge Callie Granade directed the probate judge in Mobile County - one of the holdout counties - to begin issuing licenses to same-sex couples, signaling to counties statewide that they should follow suit.
On Friday, probate courts in at least three more counties reversed course and began issuing gay marriage licenses.

Oh wait, wrong century.
I've now been witness to two milestones in civil rights.
Whatever will we do?
