Wisconsin Attorney General seeks emergency stay to stop same-sex marriages

Some counties began marrying same-sex couples immediately, and at least two, Milwaukee and Dane counties, kept their county clerk offices open late to allow gay and lesbian couples to do so.

Couples were allowed to pay to waive the five-day waiting period, and some had already married.

Van Hollen vowed to file emergency motions in order to have Friday’s ruling put on hold.

“While today’s decision is a setback, we’ll continue to defend the constitutionality of our traditional marriage laws and the constitutional amendment, which was overwhelmingly approved by voters,” Van Hollen said. “I will appeal.”
