3:41Now PlayingThe state of Arkansas is defying a court order to put the names of same sex couples on children’s birth certificates. The state won’t put both names of the couple on the certificate as a way to protest gay marriage. Cenk Uygur and Ana Kasparian (The Point) hosts of The Young Turks discuss.
What do you think of Arkansas’ decision? Let us know in the comments below.

“An Arkansas judge on Tuesday struck down part of a state law that barred same-sex couples from being listed on their children's birth certificates, ordering government officials to immediately issue amended certificates to the three plaintiff couples.
But as other couples quickly found out, the state is not yet extending that right to anyone beyond the plaintiffs.
Jennifer Gardner-Glaze of Little Rock has actually married her wife, Tracee, three times over the years, as they've tried to keep up with the changing landscape of where marriage equality is legal. They now have a 4-month-old son, but only Tracee is listed on the birth certificate.
On Wednesday, the Gardner-Glazes went to the Arkansas Department of Health to amend their son's birth certificate. The couple was familiar with the case because they're friends with Marisa and Terrah Pavan, two of the plaintiffs.
The health official told them that they were continuing to "evaluate" the situation and could not give the couple an amended document.”
