    This NPR piece compounds its headline error, repeating that it's "believed to be the first jurisdiction in the world to reverse course on same-sex marriage after permitting it."

    Truth: California did so in 2008 with Prop. 8.

    I looked at this quickly in a few related links. Looks this may have originated in English reports as Bermuda being the first national territory of the UK that had done something like this. Then in American news it morphed into Bermuda being first jurisdiction to do so.
