North carolina

A federal judge has struck down North Carolina's ban on same-sex marriage, The News & Observer reports:

U.S. District Judge Max Cogburn issued the historic ruling at 5:32 p.m.

It came less than an hour after U.S. District Judge William Osteen entered an order late Friday afternoon postponing decisions in two challenges before him until next week.
