Boy, this was fast. Congrats, ladies.

Prop. 8 officially out — SF weddings begin

A federal appeals court issued an unexpected order Friday that allows gays and lesbians to marry in California.

Two days after the U.S. Supreme Court dismissed an appeal by the sponsors of Proposition 8, the 2008 initiative that banned same-sex marriage, the Ninth U.S. Circuit Court of Appeals in San Francisco lifted its September 2010 injunction that had blocked a federal judge’s ruling declaring Prop. 8 unconstitutional.

Two plaintiffs in the Prop. 8 case, Sandy Stier and Kris Perry, were first in line at San Francisco City Hall waiting to get their marriage license. State Attorney General Kamala Harris was expected to officiate the ceremony on Mayor Ed Lee’s balcony.

San Francisco City Hall is staying open late Friday to allow couples to marry. City Hall will also stay open through the weekend for weddings, said Lee’s spokeswoman, Christine Falvey.
