From the Omaha World-Herald:

From the Omaha World-Herald:

"After nearly two decades of debate, Nebraska’s same-sex marriage ban fell quickly Friday after the U.S. Supreme Court ruled in a landmark civil rights case that states cannot deny a gay couple the dignity of marriage.

Within an hour, Nebraska. Gov. Pete Ricketts and Attorney General Doug Peterson gave the green light for county clerks to begin issuing same-sex marriage licenses."

Those two groused about it, but they didn't throw a tantrum and were basically "whelp, SCOTUS said we have to so we're gonna".  Quite gracious considering some of the responses seen so far.

And at least two gay couples in Nebraska have already gotten marriage licenses.

Here's to all you brave Cornhusker couples.
