WEDNESDAY, JUNE 26, 2013.  The U.S. Supreme Court dismissed Proposition 8, thus paving the way for Marriage Equality in California.  Governor Jerry Brown issued a statement on the Prop 8 ruling, “In light of the decision, I have directed the California Department of Public Health to advise the state’s counties that they must begin issuing marriage licenses to same-sex couples in California as soon as the Ninth Circuit confirms the stay is lifted." California Attorney General Kamala Harris tweeted, "I ask that the Ninth Circuit lift its stay immediately.  Gay and lesbian couples in CA have waited long enough."

FRIDAY, JUNE 27, 2013.  The Ninth District Court of Appeals lifted its stay opening the door for same-sex marriage to resume in California.  With hours, plaintiffs who challenged Prop. 8 were celebrating the victory by exercising their right to legally marryi.  Attorney General Kamala Harris presided at the San Francisco City Hall wedding of Sandy Stier and Kris Perry.  90 minutes Jeff Zarrillo and Paul Katami were pronounced married at Los Angeles City Hall by Mayor Antonio Villaraigosa:
