No same-sex couples have legally married in Pushmataha county,
even though Oklahoma's ban on same-sex marriage was struck down as
unconstitutional by a federal court on January 14, 2014. A stay was
granted on that ruling pending the outcome of an appeal. The state
of Oklahoma lost its appeal on July 18, 2014, when the United
States Court of Appeals for the 10th Circuit ruled that Oklahoma
cannot treat same-sex couples differently from other couples.
Governor Fallin of Oklahoma has now appealed to the United States
Supreme Court, which is likely to decide the issue by the end of
June 2015. In the meantime, no same-sex couples may marry in
Oklahoma.
