A federal district judge in Wyoming has struck down the state's ban on same-sex marriage, following a series of other court rulings extending equality to same-sex couples.

[Judge Scott W.] Skavdahl's order comes after a Thursday morning hearing in federal court in Casper. Plaintiffs in the case, called Guzzo v. Mead, asked Skavdahl to agree with the Denver-based 10th Circuit Court of Appeals, which determined marriage is a fundamental right. [Casper Star-Tribune]
