Supreme Court denies emergency stay; state holiday delays Alaska same-sex marriages

Source: Alaska Dispatch News

A stay temporarily halting same-sex marriages in Alaska expired Friday, technically making it legal for couples to seek marriage licenses in the state, while the U.S. Supreme Court denied a further stay.

Just one minute after the 9th Circuit stay was dissolved, in a one-line response, U.S. Supreme Court Justice Anthony Kennedy denied a request for a further stay from the state of Alaska.

But while marriages can go forward immediately, with state offices closed Friday in observance of Alaska Day, marriages will not resume until Monday morning.

The stay issued by the 9th Circuit Court of Appeals issued Wednesday night was given by the three-court panel to allow Alaska to seek a further stay from the U.S. Supreme Court.

..the same rights as the rest of us.
They erroneously either think that it will change their life for the worse or insist on ramming their prejudices down other's throats.
My scientific outlook on the subject is: Go fuck yourself.
