Eureka Springs set record as one of the first towns to recognize gay marriage.
A small town in Arkansas boasts a statue of Jesus, 7 stories tall, arms outstretched over a community dotted year-round with Pride flags.
That respect for one another was shown in 2014 when many people from Eureka Springs as well as outsiders lined up very early at the courthouse for a marriage license after a judge struck down a voter-initiated constitutional ban on same-sex marriage on May 9, 2014, legalizing it. The clerk who refused to issue the licenses later said that her boss, the county clerk, was out of town."Our attorney was talking through the window and telling the officers, look, this is the court rulings, here's the paperwork," Kristin Seaton-Rambo said.
Jennifer and Kristin Seaton-Rambo became the first same-sex couple in Arkansas to officially say "I do." At the same time, Taylor and Titus became Arkansas's first same-sex male couple.
