Attorney Jack Wagoner, who helped successfully challenged Arkansas' ban on same-sex marriage, has died
Attorney Jack Wagoner, who helped successfully challenge Arkansas' ban on same-sex marriage before state and federal courts, has died. He was 62. Wagoner died in Little Rock on Tuesday, said Bruce Tennant, an attorney who worked with him at his law firm. Tennant said a cause of death was not yet known. Wagoner represented same-sex couples who challenged a constitutional amendment that Arkansas voters put in the state's constitution in 2004 defining marriage as between a man and a woman.
A federal judge also struck down Arkansas' ban, but put her ruling on hold. At the time of the rulings, Wagoner predicted that gay marriage would eventually be legal nationwide. “It’s pretty clear where history’s heading on this issue,' Wagoner said. Cheryl Maples, an attorney who had also represented the couples, died in 2019. Tennant said the same-sex marriage case was an example of the types he focused on. Wagoner had also working on cases involving nursing home neglect and abuse.
