UPDATE: The Associated Press reports.
An Arkansas clerk issued the state's
first gay marriage license on Saturday, breaking a barrier that voters
put in place with a constitutional amendment 10 years ago. Carroll
County Deputy Clerk Jane Osborn issued a license Saturday morning to
Kristin Seaton, 27, and Jennifer Rambo, 26, of Fort Smith. They had
slept in a Ford Focus after arriving in Eureka Springs at 2 a.m.
Saturday and were the first of about 10 couples to line up outside of
the courthouse before it opened. When the license was issued, Rambo
said, "Thank God." Seaton and Rambo, who have been together four years,
then held a marriage ceremony on the courthouse steps. A woman in a
rainbow dress officiated.
