Stay is in effect until August 18, at 5pm. At which point marriages will resume, although the 9th Circuit could step in and issue their own stay and various weird appeals by groups who may or may not have standing may be in play.

Situation: good, but chaotic.

Isn't it, though? I have that as a 16x20 poster, framed in gold, hanging on my office wall. Derek Powazek (http://www.powazek.com/2004/02/000365.html) sold them through CafePress for a while to raise money for an organization called Don'tAmend.

Newsom's edict all came down in the week leading up to my 13th wedding anniversary. And I thought it was fitting to celebrate the weddings of thousands of couples who had previously been denied.

Now we get to celebrate again. And for longer, this time, I think. Maybe even forever now, as is right and proper.
