The Supreme Court will allow same-sex marriages to go forward in Kansas, lifting a stay of an order that struck down the state’s ban on gay marriage.
BuzzFeed first reported Wednesday evening on the order from Justice Sonia Sotomayor. Justices Antonin Scalia and Clarence Thomas dissented.
A federal judge had declared Kansas’s gay marriage ban unconstitutional last week, but Sotomayor temporarily halted same-sex marriages from proceeding Monday.
The new order Wednesday will now allow marriages to take place.
Finally, Friends of Dorothy can get married in Kansas.
Exxxxcccccelent.

I live in Kansas and I’ll never marry here or anywhere else. But if others want to take that jump, I say god help them, because most of them will need it.
If marriage makes them happy, then good.
To be honest, I haven’t even dated. I get a lot of flack for that, though, since I am lesbian and there are some idiots out there who think that you can’t be a lesbian unless you’ve dated someone already. I would just haven’t found the right person yet plus dealing with severe personal issues…
