Court says: No gay marriages in California before December


Hot news on the Prop 8 case.

Now, gay marriages are on hold until December

L.A. Times reports

The U.S. 9th Circuit Court of Appeals on Monday agreed to keep same-sex marriages on hold until at least December.

In a brief order, a three-judge panel agreed to an expedited review of U.S. District Judge Vaughn R. Walker's Aug. 4 ruling that overturned Proposition 8 as a violation of the federal Constitution.

The panel agreed to hold a hearing on the case during the week of Dec. 6 and ordered both sides to present arguments on whether the campaign for Proposition 8 has legal authority to appeal Walker's order.

Okay, not cute; but at least the Prop 8 was overturned.

  1. A few years ago I wouldn't have cared about any of this. But now it matters. And I'm single. It's moving in the right direction - albeit slowly.

  2. That's too far away - another stumbling block! Let's hope it is resolved asap!
