Indiana Gov. Mike Pence's office is telling state agencies to ignore same-sex marriages that were performed last month.
Hundreds of gay marriages were performed in Indiana for three days in June, after Federal Judge Richard Young ruled the state’s same-sex marriage ban was unconstitutional.
The new memo released from the governor's chief counsel tells executive branch agencies to execute their functions as though the June 25 court order was not issued.
An appeals court stayed the ruling after an appeal from the state attorney general's office.
The governor's office did tell agencies to recognize the out-of-state marriage of Amy Sandler and Nikole Quasney of Munster, in line with the appellate court order. Quasney is dying of ovarian cancer.
