People are celebrating throughout the country as the Supreme Court rules that gay marriage is legal in every state. But as of right now licenses are not being issued in Louisiana. Louisiana Clerks of Court Association Executive Director Debbie Hudnall says they are going to do what they’re legally required to do, but Supreme Court rules allow for a 25-day challenge period for any judgement or decision…:
CUT 11 (09) “any license”
The Louisiana AG’s office says nothing in the ruling makes the order effective immediately and they are going to wait for the Court to issue a mandate making the decision final.

Governor Bobby Jindal issued a statement which says God established that marriage is between a man and a woman and no earthly court can alter that. He says Supreme Court ruling for gay marriage nationwide “follows public opinion and tramples on states’ rights.”

It’s now a crime in Louisiana to share an explicit picture of someone without their permission because you want to cause emotional harm to that person. Governor Bobby Jindal signed Kenner Representative Julie Stokes’ “revenge porn” bill into law. She says she’s read and heard about many people who have had this happen to them…:
CUT 4 (10) “that they’re used”
Violators of the law could face up to two years in prison and a $10,000 fine.

If you sat in all the Slidell traffic last weekend then you can rest easy if you’re traveling to the beaches this weekend. The Department of Transportation and Development says travel will not be affected due to road construction because it has been rescheduled and will resume July 10th. This is in St. Tammany Parish in the I-10/I-12/I-59 areas.
