TOPEKA, Kan. (AP) — A same-sex couple received a license Friday in Johnson County and got married but it’s not clear whether Kansas will recognize the marriage.

Attorney General Derek Schmidt is asking the state Supreme Court to immediately block all such licenses from being granted. He says a judge in Johnson County exceeded his authority in ordering clerks and other judges to approve marriage applications from gay couples. The Kansas Constitution bans gay marriage.

Schmidt says his goal is to “freeze the status quo in place until the legal dispute can be properly resolved.”

Johnson County Court Clerk Sandra McCurdy won’t identify the couple but says they married shortly after receiving the license.

A gay couple whose application for a marriage license in Riley County was accepted Thursday learned Friday that a judge had denied it.
