Same-sex marriages on hold as judges examine ban
Gay couples who were set to get married in California this week have had to put their wedding plans on hold once again after a federal appeals court said it first wanted to consider the constitutionality of the state's same-sex marriage ban.
A three-judge panel of the 9th US Circuit Court of Appeals imposed an emergency stay yesterday on a trial court judge's ruling overturning the ban, known as Proposition 8.
