Marriage News Watch: February 2, 2015

These stories and more in this week’s Marriage News Watch report from Matt Baume at the American Foundation for Equal Rights (AFER). Miss any of these stories? Check the links below under “Related Articles” for full reports on the stories mentioned in this week’s video:
