Gay Marriages Over in SFO

[WaPost]. California Supreme Court blocked 'em, so no more until constitutionality is decided i May or June. The number of couples married stands at ~3700.

The gay, estranged son of Pete Knight -- the California State representative who introduced the law in California banning gay marriage -- was married Tuesday in SFO.

Oooh: the kicker. The way that Atty General Lockyer got it blocked was by arguing that couples may think they are protected by legal benefits of marriage -- such as inheritance rights -- which they may not be, and which can result in real losses if not addressed in this iterim when the constitutionality of gay marriages is not decided.

So it's to protect the couples.
