Two more New Mexico Counties have joined the rush to give marriage licenses to same sex couples, bringing the total to five. Equality on Trial reports:
San Miguel County in New Mexico joins Valencia County as the latest in the state to issue marriage licenses to same-sex couples. San Miguel County Clerk Melanie Rivera has confirmed that she will issue new gender neutral marriage licenses later this week, though couples who don’t want to wait can receive a license today: Rivera also stated that couples who did not wish to wait could apply and receive a license today. Until the new licenses arrive Rivera will make the changes to the old forms by hand. Valencia County Clerk Peggy Carabajal has also discussed the change: Valencia County Clerk Peggy Carabajal said she should have gender-neutral licenses ready by Wednesday. She also said she is willing to alter licenses if people want to get married Tuesday.
Truly incredible to watch. When will one of these judges get it over with and declare the whole state as a marriage equality zone?
