THE TELEGRAPH: Same-sex marriages can go ahead in California from next week, a judge has ruled.
Judge Vaughn Walker in San Francisco said that gay and lesbian couples can wed in the state from 5pm on Aug 18, unless opponents can convince the Court of Appeal to intervene by then.
The move followed a landmark decision by the same judge last week that the state’s ban on gay matrimony violated the US Constitution.
After that ruling California Governor Arnold Schwarzenegger filed a motion demanding same-sex marriages be allowed to take place immediately. >>> Nick Allen, Los Angeles | Thursday, August 12, 2010
