Breaking news on CNN CALIFORNIA SUPREME COURT BANS gay Marriage!!!!!

Unfortunately, no. All they have done is stopped SF from issuing licenses until the matter is heard in May or June, and the only issue being heard is whether or not a city or county has the right to ignore laws they beleive are unconstitutional. The court practically invited SF to file a separate legal action challenging the constitutionality of Prop. 22 and the existing marriage laws.

Massachusetts lawmakers gave preliminary approval Thursday to a constitutional amendment that would ban gay marriage but allow civil unions.

The amendment, which would strip gay couples of their court-granted marriage rights, must still weather several additional votes and anticipated legislative maneuvering by opponents.

The earliest a ban could end up on a statewide ballot is November 2006, more than two years after same-sex couples can start getting married in Massachusetts.
