hen Natasha Cox woke up on June 25, she found some unexpected news. After getting on Facebook — or as she called it, her “morning newspaper” — she found out that Indiana had lifted the ban on same-sex marriage. She immediately woke up her partner, Ryder, and said, “Honey, we can get married.” The couple started that day by calling the Delaware County Building and asking around, but realized they would have to wait a day while the County Building received the proper documents. So they went about their day as usual and worked at the Mark III Taproom, the gay bar they own with Keith Martz, Natasha’s father. After work, they went home, stayed up all night and arrived at the County Building the following morning.

With the match knotted at zero midway through the second half, Musleh scored twice within 15
After leading the Ball State soccer team in total points last year, Elaina Musleh has struggled to find that same consistency in the 2014 season.
