Group wants same sex marriage put on hold in California

Looks like the wedding of Ellen DeGeneres and Portia de Rossi will be put on hold for 5 months until a ruling from California Supreme Court.

This happens when the Arizona-based Alliance Defense Fund wants the ruling stayed until November, when voters will probably encounter a ballot measure that would amend the state constitution to ban gay marriage. That amendment would overturn the justices' ruling.

Defense Fund attorneys also said implementing the ruling in the meantime would be an unnecessary expense for the state and cause unneeded confusion for couples.

"Permitting this decision to take effect immediately - in light of the realistic possibility that the people of California might amend their constitution to reaffirm marriage as the union of one man and one woman - risks legal havoc and uncertainty of immeasurable magnitude," the attorneys wrote in the petition.
