WASHINGTON, Oct. 10 (UPI) -- The U.S. Supreme Court lifted a stay Friday on same-sex marriages in Idaho, allowing gay and lesbian couples to get licenses and marry in the state.
The court turned down a request by Idaho officials to wait until all appeals are decided. This week, a federal appeals court ruled that bans on same-sex marriage in Idaho and Nevada are unconstitutional, but Justice Anthony Kennedy granted Idaho a temporary stay Wednesday.
