Same-sex marriage has been legal in Alabama since June 26,2015,in accordance with the U.S. Supreme Court's ruling in Obergefell v. Hodges. Not all counties immediately complied with the ruling,copying behavior from the civil rights era when they had refused to perform interracial marriages. A year after the Supreme Court ruling,only twelve counties would either issue licenses to no one or only to opposite-sex couples. By 2017,this number had dropped to only eight counties,with all eight refusing to issue licenses to anyone. In May 2019,the Alabama Legislature passed a bill replacing the option that counties issue marriage licenses and perform marriage ceremonies with the requirement of counties to record marriage certificates. Subsequently,all counties complied and announced on August 29,2019 that they would record marriage certificates for interracial and same-sex couples. Previously,Alabama had banned the licensing of same-sex marriages and the recognition of such marriages from other jurisdictions by executive order in 1996,by statute in 1998,and by constitutional amendment in June 2006.
