Marriage Equality Bans Struck Down in Idaho, Nevada 
----------------------------------------------------


 
A string of marriage-equality victories continues with bans struck down
in two more states. On Tuesday, the Ninth Circuit Court of Appeals
overturned LGBT marriage bans in Idaho and Nevada. The decision comes
one day after the U.S. Supreme Court rejected appeals from five states
whose marriage equality bans had previously been struck down. After
Tuesday, LGBT marriage is now legal in 32 states — up from 19 just
last week.
