Same-Sex Marriage Ban Lifted in California

An appeals court in California has lifted the state's ban on same-sex marriage - just days after the U.S. Supreme Court paved the way for such a move.

The order lifting the ban was issued Friday by the 9th Circuit Court of Appeals.

The order came in response to an opinion released Wednesday by the U.S. Supreme Court that effectively killed a voter-approved ban on same-sex marriages in the state.
