The Oglala Sioux Tribe Legalized Gay Marriage

An American indigenous tribe in South Dakota has become the first one in the state to legalize same-sex marriage.

The Oglala Sioux made the announcement earlier this month to triumphant applause. The decision was made by the tribal council, which approved a same-gender marriage ordinance in a vote of 12 to 3 (with one abstention). The new ordinance amends martial and domestic law that has not changed on the Pine Ridge reservation since 1935, according to AP.
