ADVANCE FOR USE SUNDAY, APRIL 13, 2014 AND THEREAFTER - Williams County, N.D. Sheriff Scott Busching sits at his desk in Williston, N.D. on Tuesday, Feb. 25, 2014.

A series of pro-gay marriage rulings in the previous nine months by federal judges has emboldened backers of gay marriage and spurred predictions that it’s only a matter of time before gay and lesbian couples will be able to legally marry across the United States.
