Developments stemming from the U.S. Supreme Court's recent same-sex marriage decisions continue to be reported:
According to yesterday's Deseret News, Utah businessman Jonathan Johnson, executive vice chairman of Overstock.com, is undertaking a national campaign, beginning in Utah, urging states to amend their constitutions to protect religious organizations from being required to "solemnize, officiate in, or recognize any particular marriage or religious rite of marriage in violation of its beliefs."
Under American immigration law, an individual may receive a derivative visa if his or her spouse or first-degree relative is eligible for U.S. residency. Haaretz reports that the American embassy in Israel has issued its first derivative visas to Israeli same-sex spouses who were married legally outside of Israel.
