Indiana won't recognize hundreds of same-sex marriages that were performed before a federal court halted a lower-court's decision to lift the state's gay marriage ban, the governor's office said Wednesday.

Hundreds of couples were married from June 25, when a U.S. district court judge struck down the state's gay marriage ban, to June 27, when a federal appeals court stayed the decision.

I take this as a sign that Pence will give it a try in 2016

RE: Until some federal dictator judge rules otherwise.
Hey, if Obama can ignore the law, what can one Federal judge do if a governor INSISTS on following HIS OWN STATE’s law?
Oh yes they will. When some libtard / closet-queer judge declares their state laws and Pence’s actions as unconstitutional, they sure as hell will.
No they weren't. Same-sex couples cannot be married. Marriage is an institution ordained before God, and He explicitly condemns homosexuality in the harshest terms.
Problem is that they don’t - they roll over to the federal judge.
