Salt Lake Tribune: Supreme Court Halts Gay Marriage in Utah

Great news for the "haters," we suppose

Bad news for Utah civil libertarians, as the Salt Lake Tribune delivers this blockbuster news. Here's the lede:
The U.S. Supreme Court on Monday put same-sex marriages in Utah on hold, granting the state’s request for a stay while it appeals a ruling that laws banning such marriages are unconstitutional.
The court said the stay would be in place until the 10th Circuit Court of Appeals in Denver makes a decision on Utah’s appeal.
Read the full story, folks:
Even worse news for "[a]t least about 1,000 same sex couples have wed since Shelby’s ruling," whose marital statuses will now be thrown into legal limbo.

Great news for the "haters," though we suppose.
