The decision by the U.S. 9th Circuit Court of Appeals specifically strikes down same-sex-marriage bans in Idaho and Nevada, but it applies to all of the circuit court’s states and overturns similar prohibitions in Alaska, Arizona and Montana."

So...marriage is not for gay folks? It that what you support, or not? Faggots destroying the holy fabric of marriage and such nonsense? Is that it?

Court clerk in South Carolina issues marriage licenses.

"Additional southern states may follow South Carolina as the U.S. 5th Circuit Court of Appeals in New Orleans, will soon consider a ruling upholding a marriage ban in Louisiana. A ruling from the 5th Circuit would also apply to Mississippi and Texas." LATimes

Two day stay. I predict it'll be vacated by Friday.

"Idaho Gov. C.L. "Butch" Otter filed an emergency request with Kennedy and the high court early Wednesday while the state seeks to appeal the U.S. 9th Circuit Court ruling that allowed gay marriage there. Otter called the 9th Circuit's decision "an enormous federal intrusion on state power to define marriage," and his lawyers insisted there was a "strong likelihood" the Supreme Court itself would disagree with the reasoning in the 9th Circuit's opinion.
Shortly afterward, Kennedy, who handles emergency appeals from the West Coast, issued a brief order to halt same-sex marriages in Idaho and Nevada. He said lawyers for the plaintiffs in Idaho should file a response to the state's appeal.
The order may be nothing more than a legal courtesy to Idaho officials." LATimes
