Supreme Court lifts hold on marriages in Kansas
WASHINGTON (AP) - The Supreme Court says same-sex marriages can go ahead in Kansas.
The court on Wednesday denied the state's request to prevent gay and lesbian couples from marrying while Kansas fights the issue in court.
A federal district judge last week blocked the state from enforcing its ban, saying it was in keeping with an earlier ruling by the federal appeals court that oversees Kansas that struck down bans in Oklahoma and Utah.
The judge's ruling was supposed to go into effect Tuesday, but Justice Sonia Sotomayor temporarily put it on hold while the high court reviewed the case.
Justices Antonin Scalia and Clarence Thomas would have sided with the state.
