Alabama Supreme Court Orders Halt to Same-Sex Marriage Licenses 
----------------------------------------------------------------


 
Alabama's top court has taken new action in a bid to block marriage
equality. On Tuesday, the Alabama Supreme Court ordered a halt to
marriage licenses for LGBT couples. The move follows a standoff last
month that saw state Supreme Court Justice Roy Moore demand that judges
and officials ignore a federal court ruling that struck down Alabama's
ban on same-sex marriage.
