Following
the actions of three other counties in the state, the Valencia , San Miguel County and Taos county clerks have
decided to issue marriage licenses to gay couples.
San Miguel County Clerk
Melanie Rivera confirmed she ordered new licenses from the printer, but said
she is now issuing "Spouse and Spouse" licenses that have been
manually altered starting on Tuesday.
According to Valencia County Clerk Peggy
Carabajal, paper stock for the licenses have already been ordered. They plan to
change software to print "Spouse and Spouse" instead of "Bride
and Groom" as soon as the paper arrives tomorrow morning.
Taos District
Judge Jeff McElroy said the county clerk will likely not contest the decision
in court and will begin issuing same sex marriage licenses soon.
