Group Wants 5-Month Delay on California Gay Marriages

An Arizona based conservative legal group is asking the California Supreme Court to delay legal gay marriages until November when voters "are likely to encounter a ballot measure that would amend the state's constitution to ban gay marriage. That amendment would overturn the justices' ruling." They say that allowing the marriages before the election "risks legal havoc and uncertainty of immeasurable magnitude."
Meanwhile, California's Public Health Department Office of Vital Records has to figure out what new marriage licenses will look like. Currently, they use "bride" and "groom" as well as "unmarried man" and "unmarried woman" In both Massechusetts and Vermont, man/woman references were replaced with "Party A" and "Party B."

Let's tell Arizona to stop beeing such busybodies and mind their own state. Maybe they should be taking care of, oh, the Arizona Civil Rights Initiative which some claim will institutionalize racism.
We have our hands full with our own bigots. We don't need theirs too.
