Finding that Nevada’s constitutional ban on same-sex marriage imposes “profound legal, financial, social and psychic harms” on many of its citizens, the 9th U.S. Circuit Court of Appeals on Tuesday overturned the prohibition, paving the way for gay unions in the Silver State.
The court reversed a U.S. District Court ruling in favor of the state’s voter-approved ban and remanded it back to District Court “for the prompt issuance of an injunction permanently enjoining the state, its political subdivisions, and its officers, employees, and agents” from enforcing the constitutional provision.
The ruling also overturned Idaho’s ban on same-sex marriage.
Clark County Clerk Diana Alba said the Marriage Bureau will start issuing marriage licenses to same-sex couples at 2 p.m. today, according to county spokesman Erik Pappa.
The 9th U.S. Circuit Court of Appeals expedited the date when its decision to void Nevada’s same-sex marriage ban will take effect, he said.
The Marriage Bureau is at 201 E. Clark Ave., on the first floor of the Regional Justice Center in downtown Las Vegas.

It’s not going to go well.
HEY !!! which one is the bride ???
The groom has a penis.
If there are two people getting married and they have the same organ, it is not a marriage as we think of marriage. It is a marriage in a “legal” sense.
Kinda like “non-profit” has nothing to do with profits. It is a tax term.
Well, maybe this is better. It will be easier to identify the perverts when we take over.
2. Lots of people move in to take advantage of cheap housing and jobs.
3. Conservatives gloat and preen: See how conservative policies lead to economic success!
4. People who moved to state didn't move there because it was conservative. They moved there because of the jobs and cheap housing. They continue to vote Democrat.
5. Flush with extra revenues, the state starts spending on social welfare programs, trains to nowhere, etc.
6. Economy flounders. Now you have a state full of displaced Democrats with no jobs and no home equity.
7. Rinse and repeat in Colorado, Texas, Montana, Wyoming, etc.

Why don’t we take a tree and call it a fish?
Words mean so little in our new world.
Kennedy later clarified that his stay applied only to Idaho, not to Nevada, because Nevada threw in the towel and said they don't want to fight the case anymore.
