Gay marriageSame-sex couples looking to marry in DeKalb County, Ala., are still unable to obtain a marriage license.
On Wednesday, Probate Judge Ronnie Osborne’s office was still not selling same-sex marriage licenses, but Linda Chitwood, a clerk in Osborne’s office, said they were accepting applications.
“We give applications out to everyone,” Chitwood said.
As of Wednesday, Chitwood said one same-sex couple had applied for a marriage license.
On Sunday, Alabama Supreme Court Chief Justice Roy S. Moore issued an order that prohibits probate judges from issuing marriage licenses to same-sex couples after a federal judge invalidated the state’s ban. Since then, at least 22 of Alabama’s 67 counties have gone ahead with issuing same-sex marriage licenses.
