California Awaits Gay Marriage Decision

Same-sex couples in California may be able to marry as soon as Thursday, pending a decision from U.S. District Judge John Vaughn Walker. 

Walker, who last week ruled that a ballot initiative to outlaw gay marriage was unconstitutional, accepted a request from same-sex marriage opponents to put a temporary stay on his verdict. He will rule today on whether or not it will be maintained as proponents attempt to appeal last week’s ruling.
