a halt to gay marriages

CNN.com - California's top court blocks gay marriages - Mar 11, 2004

Oh fudge. "The California Supreme Court on Thursday ordered an immediate halt to gay marriages in San Francisco, delivering a victory to conservatives who have fought for a month to block the ceremonies." Apparently, this isn't a "stop", so much as a "pause", but it's still pretty demoralizing. I hope they come to the right conclusion, as MA did.
