LSU student Michael Beyer worries about what his future will look like. He is waiting to see if Louisiana will follow the trend and allow same-sex marriage.
“Been waiting and waiting and waiting for this unjust ban to end, so that we can live our lives authentically and the state can recognize that, Beyer said.” He hopes marriage equality happens soon, so couples like his uncle who have been together for almost 30 years can finally get married.
In September, a parish judge ruled same-sex marriage was unconstitutional in Louisiana. The U.S. 5th Circuit Court of Appeals will review the ruling.
In similar cases, this has led to same-sex marriage bans being overturned. Same-sex marriage recently became legal in Indiana, Michigan, Utah, Oklahoma and Virginia
