According to Inside INdiana Business, the general counsel to Indiana Governor Mike Pence has issued a memo to state agencies instructing them to act as if a federal judge’s ruling striking down Indiana’s ban on same-sex marriage had not been issued. A judge has approved an emergency stay on the ruling while the appeals process moves forward

The memo means a flurry of same-sex marriages conducted in the days following the initial ruling will not be recognized.

In his ruling, Judge Richard Young wrote, “In time, Americans will look at the marriage of couples such as Plaintiffs, and refer to it simply as a marriage – not a same-sex marriage. These couples, when gender and sexual orientation are taken away, are in all respects like the family down the street. The Constitution demands that we treat them as such.”
