It鈥檚 been a little more than five months since the . In Cuyahoga County there was an immediate flurry of same-sex ceremonies at the courthouse. And Probate Court Magistrate Jennifer Alexander says they remain a large portion of the marriages Presiding Judge Anthony Russo has performed since the June 26th decision.
鈥淗e performed 37 total marriage ceremonies. Twenty-three were opposite sex or traditional marriages, 14 were same-sex, and of that 14, nine of them were done in June.鈥�
Alexander says during this period another judge performed two same-sex marriages, bringing the total to 16. She says it would be hard to track how many marriage licenses have been issued to same-sex couples. That鈥檚 because before the Supreme Court decision, the applications were changed from 鈥渂ride鈥� and 鈥済room鈥� to 鈥渁pplicant one鈥� and 鈥渁pplicant two.鈥�
