Have the Cheyenne and Arapaho Tribes of Oklahoma legalized same-sex marriage?
Johntorresbrooklyn
Yes. In October 2013, the tribe issued a marriage license and certificate of marriage to a same-sex couple, the first such couple to marry in Oklahoma. Such sovereign tribal nations are not subject to state or Federal Laws or constitutional provisions prohibiting same-sex marriage. The tribal elders may grant permission to same-sex couples to marry on tribal lands. Such marriages are legal on tribal lands and in other jurisdictions where same-sex marriage has been legalized.
