Same-sex marriage has been legal in Oklahoma since October 6,2014,following the resolution of a lawsuit challenging the state's ban on same-sex marriage. On that day,following the U.S. Supreme Court's refusal to review Bishop v. Smith,a case that had found the ban unconstitutional,the Tenth Circuit Court of Appeals ordered Oklahoma to recognize same-sex marriages. On January 14,2014,Judge Terence C. Kern of the U.S. District Court for the Northern District of Oklahoma declared the state's statutory and constitutional same-sex marriage bans unconstitutional. The case,Bishop v. Smith,was stayed pending appeal. On July 18,2014,a panel of the Tenth Circuit upheld Kern's ruling overturning Oklahoma's same-sex marriage ban. However,the panel put its ruling on hold pending disposition of a petition for certiorari by the U.S. Supreme Court. On October 6,2014,the U.S. Supreme Court rejected the request for review,leaving the Tenth Circuit Court's ruling in place. State officials responded by implementing the Tenth Circuit's ruling,recognizing same-sex marriage in the state.
