Utah Won't Recognize Same-Sex Marriages 
----------------------------------------


 
Utah has told hundreds of LGBT couples their marriages will not be
recognized after the Supreme Court reinstated a ban earlier this week.
Nearly 1,000 LGBT couples got married after a federal judge struck down
the state’s ban on same-sex marriage late last month. But the Supreme
Court halted the marriages on Monday pending Utah's appeal of the
judge's ruling. Utah Gov. Bob Herbert has told state agencies not to
recognize any same-sex marriages that took place in the two weeks when
they were allowed. The case could end up before the Supreme Court.
