PORTLAND, Ore. (AP) – A federal judge threw out Oregon’s same-sex marriage ban, marking the 13th legal victory for gay marriage advocates since the U.S. Supreme Court last year overturned part of a federal ban. Many county clerks in the state began carrying out same-sex marriages almost immediately after the ruling, as jubilant couples rushed to tie the knot.

The report comes days after another report surfaced showing Wehby’s former boyfriend called police last year reporting that she was stalking him. Wehby’s campaign manager could not be reached.
