The Indianapolis Star reports that four same-sex couples have filed a federal lawsuit to challenge the state's statutory ban on same-sex marriage. The "lawsuit mirrors the challenge in Kentucky that last month prompted a federal judge to order that state to recognize same-sex marriages legally performed elsewhere," The Star further reports.
Indiana's ban on same-sex marriage is statutory, not constitutional. A state constitutional ban is under consideration by the legislature, but that measure won't go to voters until at least 2016.
