Yahoo! News - Calif. Court Won't Stop Gay Marriages
SAN FRANCISCO - The California Supreme Court declined a request by the state attorney general Friday to immediately shut down San Francisco's gay weddings and to nullify the nearly 3,500 marriages already performed.

At the prodding of Gov. Arnold Schwarzenegger, Attorney General Bill Lockyer asked the court to intervene in the emotionally charged debate while justices consider the legality of the marriages. But the justices declined, and told the city and a conservative group that opposes gay marriages to file new legal briefs by March 5.

There's a good sign.
