Calif. Court Won't Stop Parade to Altar

Gay couples can wed on June 17; call to wait for Nov. ballot rejected

(Newser) – The California Supreme Court shot down a request today to suspend its decision allowing same-sex marriages until after a November vote on a constitutional amendment that would overturn the May 15 ruling, the San Francisco Chronicle reports. Couples can marry starting June 17, as scheduled.
