Alabama Amendment 774


The Amendment 774 of 2006, also known as Alabama Sanctity of Marriage Amendment, is an amendment to the Alabama Constitution that makes it unconstitutional for the state to recognize or perform same-sex marriages or civil unions. The referendum was approved by 81% of the voters.

The text of the amendment states:

On January 23, 2015, Chief Judge on the United States District Court for the Southern District of Alabama Callie V. Granade, issued a ruling striking down Alabama's ban on same-sex marriage as violations of the Fourteenth Amendment's guarantees of equal protection and due process. Alabama supreme court justice Roy S. Moore ordered Alabama's probate judges to ignore Granade's ruling.
