California moves to halt gay weddings

California’s attorney general has been ordered to “take immediate steps” to get a court ruling to put an end to same-sex marriages in San Francisco.

Governor Arnold Schwarzenegger’s directive to Attorney General Bill Lockyer on Friday was prompted in part by the judge’s decision not to impose a temporary restraining order that would have halted San Francisco’s weeklong parade of 3,175 same-sex weddings, said Rob Stutzman, Schwarzenegger’s communications director.
