Idaho Same-Sex Marriage Ban Struck Down 
----------------------------------------


 
A federal judge has overturned Idaho's ban on same-sex marriage —
the latest in a series of marriage equality rulings sweeping the
country. Judge Candy Wagahoff Dale ruled the Idaho ban violated couple's
equal protection rights under the 14th Amendment. The decision comes
days after a marriage equality ban was struck down in Arkansas,
prompting hundreds of weddings by same-sex couples.
