Some counties in Alabama began granting marriage licenses to same-sex couples on Monday. Couples lined up outside courthouses in Huntsville, Birmingham and Montgomery with their licenses. In Troy, the courthouse was quiet. The judge was not granting marriage licenses to anyone. Sunday night, the chief justice Roy Moore sent an order to county probate judges telling them not to issue licenses, but by monday morning that had been overruled by the United States supreme court. Same-sex marriage is being refused in 24 counties right now. The federal court and the state's court are not getting along on the issue.
