A federal judge in Tennessee Friday ordered state officials to recognize the marriages of three same-sex couples during the consideration of their lawsuit challenging the validity of the state’s ban on recognizing such marriages.
In considering the request for a preliminary injunction, U.S. District Court Judge Aleta Trauger wrote that “all relevant federal authority indicates that the plaintiffs in this case are indeed likely to prevail on their claims that the Anti-Recognition Laws are unconstitutional.” The plaintiffs, she noted, filed the case only on their own behalf, so the temporary ruling affects only the state’s treatment of the three couples.
The lawsuit was brought by longtime LGBT rights litigator Abby Rubenfeld, along with the National Center for Lesbian Rights and several local co-counsel.

Tell them to go pound sand.
This is how liberals shove their "values" in our faces: Even if the homo's lawsuit fails, it will be a "hardship" to undue what is already done (their "marriage").
What a gruesome bunch of freaks
FTJ. Sounds like it may be time to protest in front of that commies house.
So this judge has a phone and a pen too. $h!t if we can just make up laws, every liberal in Hollywood needs to pay me $10k
Even if the Anti Recognition laws are wrong does that mean the States are automatically forced to recognize them?
yup.
THEM AND THE JUDGE.
“LGBT rights litigator Abby Rubenfeld, along with the National Center for Lesbian Rights”
I wish these perverts could be exiled to some island somewhere where they could engage in any unnatural “right” they wish without inflicting their sick lifestyles on the rest of us.
Sorry, judges do not write law. That is the responsibility of the LEGISLATURE.
Apparently not
That's what we've been saying for ten years in Massachusetts.
Reply from the state should be that the Feds have no authority over this issue, and to buzz off.
Better Yet-
Have the Governor declare via Executive order that the Federal court order does not stand. After all Obama can do it.
A man and a woman joining together before God is different than the government recognizing a same sex union.
any judge that rules that sodomy is to be recognized as marriage should be considered a suspect sodomite himself.
Courts have no constitutional power to make law
