AS 25.05.013. Same-Sex Marriages.

(a) A marriage entered into by persons of the same sex, either under common law or under statute, that is recognized by another state or foreign jurisdiction is void in this state, and contractual rights granted by virtue of the marriage, including its termination, are unenforceable in this state.

(b) A same-sex relationship may not be recognized by the state as being entitled to the benefits of marriage.

February 27, 1998: Alaska Superior Court judge Peter Michalski ruled in favor of plaintiffs Jay Brause and Gene Dugan, saying that choosing a marital partner is a fundamental right that cannot be denied by the state without a compelling reason.

November 3, 1998: The state's voters amended the constitution to require that all marriages be between a man and a woman.

ALASKA CONSTITUTION - Article I. Declaration of Rights - §25. Marriage  :
