8. UPDATE-Clark County to start issuing gay marriage licenses Wednesday

Las Vegas Review-Journal:

CARSON CITY — Finding that Nevada’s constitutional ban on same-sex marriage imposes “profound legal, financial, social and psychic harms” on many of its citizens, the 9th U.S. Circuit Court of Appeals on Tuesday overturned the prohibition, paving the way for gay unions in the Silver State.

The court reversed a U.S. District Court ruling in favor of the state’s voter-approved ban, and remanded it back to district court “for the prompt issuance of an injunction permanently enjoining the state, its political subdivisions, and its officers, employees, and agents” from enforcing the constitutional provision.
