Alaska ban on same-sex marriage ruled unconstitutional
A U.S. federal judge on Sunday ruled that the state of Alaska's ban on same-sex marriage was unconstitutional.
Judge Timothy Burgess of the U.S. District Court for Alaska made the ruling after hearing oral arguments on Friday challenging the state's 16-year-old ban, saying it added to discrimination already faced by gay and lesbian people every day.
He also barred Alaska from refusing to acknowledge lawful same-sex marriages conducted in other states.
