Legality Of SD Gay Marriage Laws Rests On Lower Courts

Earlier this week the United States Supreme Court turned away appeals from states whose bans on same-sex marriage have been overturned by lower courts. The Supreme Court left standing three federal appeals court decisions that found states’ bans on same-sex marriage unconstitutional. Creighton Law Professor Michael Fenner tells SDPB’s Victoria Wicks that the issue seems to be working itself out politically, and the high court likely wants to let it continue to do so.

Rapid City freelancer Victoria L. Wicks has been producing news for SDPB since August 2007. She Retired from this position in March 2023.
