01-12-2015 A judge ruled South Dakota’s gay marriage ban unconstitutional. U.S. District Court Judge Karen E. Schreier wrote that the plaintiffs in the case “have a fundamental right to marry.” “South Dakota law deprives them of that right solely because they are same-sex couple and without sufficient justification, “ Schreier wrote. The decision is stayed pending a possible appeal to the Eighth Circuit Court of Appeals.
