Los Angeles
Same-sex California couples planning to wed Wednesday will have to wait until at least December, following a decision by the US Ninth Circuit Court of Appeals.
On Tuesday a three-judge panel extended a stay on District Judge Vaughn Walker’s ruling that marriage is a protected right for same-sex couples. The panel said the court would hear the Proposition 8 challenge on an expedited basis and hold arguments the week of Dec. 6. Another panel of three judges is expected to rule on the appeal.
Judge Walker decided Aug. 4 that Proposition 8 violated the US Constitution, and later ordered county clerks offices to begin granting same-sex marriage licenses at 5 p.m. Wednesday unless a higher court intervened. The Ninth Circuit panel gave no explanation for why it stayed Walker's order.
While the ruling is a disappointment to many gay marriage advocates, legal scholars say it may be more beneficial to them in the long run. Read more:

Kids Are Being Hurt!!!
…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.
