Wisconsin’s ban on gay marriages remains in effect — at least for now.
The U.S. Supreme Court is considering taking up the issue. In the meantime, the U.S. 7th Circuit Court of Appeals in Chicago has decided to put its recent ruling on gay marriage on hold.
The appellate panel ruled almost two weeks ago that the gay marriage bans in both Wisconsin and Indiana are unconstitutional.
Last week, state attorney general JB Van Hollen asked the Supreme Court to consider acting on Wisconsin’s case. The justices will discuss the gay marriage issue in a closed-door conference two weeks from today.
