The fight for marriage equality has picked up new victories with rulings against bans in Utah and Indiana. In a 2-to-1 decision Wednesday, the 10th U.S. Circuit Court of Appeals found that Utah’s ban is unconstitutional. Although lower courts have struck down a number of state bans, it is the first time a federal appeals court has done so since last year’s Supreme Court decision overturning the Defense of Marriage Act. More than 1,000 LGBT couples tied the knot in December during a brief window when a district court struck down Utah’s ban. The new ruling sets up a likely challenge before the Supreme Court with Utah planning to appeal. A federal judge, meanwhile, has struck down Indiana’s same-sex marriage ban and ordered officials to immediately begin issuing marriage licenses. In a statement, the American Civil Liberties Union’s Lesbian Gay Bisexual and Transgender Project said: “This is a significant step in the astounding progress that has been made in just a few years toward achieving dignity for all families.”
