Wyoming Legislature set to ban recognition of some marriages

Same-sex couples legally married elsewhere will not be recognized as married in Wyoming, if a bill working its way through the Legislature is passed

State senators rejected a proposed amendment that would have allocated funds to erect signs at state borders saying, "Warning: your marriage or civil union may be void or voidable in Wyoming. Proceed with extreme caution."

And no, that last part was not a joke.
