Supporters of Proposition 8 — California's ban on same-sex marriage — say they feel encouraged by Monday's ruling from a federal court, which put gay marriages on indefinite hold while the case moves to appeal. But for gay couples who were planning to wed Wednesday, it was another disappointing delay.
A lower court judge cleared the way last week for same-sex marriages to resume at 5 p.m. Wednesday. But supporters of California's same-sex marriage ban immediately went to the 9th Circuit Court of Appeals, which granted a request to put gay marriages on hold while the case is on appeal.
Thea Lavin had been set to marry her partner in San Francisco Wednesday evening. "When you've been waiting your whole life to get civil rights, and be able to marry the person that you love, a few more months or another year doesn't feel that long," she says. "We can wait until this is resolved, but I hope it doesn't take that long."
Lavin and other couples could be waiting for months, even years, as the case runs its course, says Erwin Chemerinsky, dean of the University of California, Irvine School of Law.

…whoever causes one of these little ones who believe in Me to stumble, it would be better for him to have a heavy millstone hung around his neck, and to be drowned in the depth of the sea. Matthew 18:6
Important note: No disrespect meant to Pope Benedict XVI or the hierarchy, the one and only concern is the safety and well-being of children.
