U.S. District Judge Scott W. Skavdahl has struck down the state law banning gay marriage in Wyoming, but he put his ruling on hold until 5 p.m. Thursday or until all defendants have filed a notice that they will not appeal the order, whichever comes first.
Skavdahl's order comes after a Thursday morning hearing in federal court in Casper. Plaintiffs in the case, called Guzzo v. Mead, asked Skavdahl to agree with the Denver-based 10th Circuit Court of Appeals, which determined marriage is a fundamental right.
