Gay marriage legalized ... now what?

In the wake of last week's landmark state Supreme Court ruling legalizing gay marriage in California, goverment types are now scrambling around trying to figure out how to implement the new law and prepare for same-sex marriages.

At today's Los Angeles County Board of Supervisor's meeting, the supes are scheduled to discuss a motion, brought by supervisors Zev Yaroslavsky and Yvonne Burke, that would direct county officials to research and report on the legal obligations for issuing marriage licenses. Sueprvisor Mike Antonovich, who has publicly criticized the high court's ruling, is expected to seek an amendment to whatever motion is brought that would call for a report on whatever impact a proposed November ballot initiative would have. The ballot initiative, if passed by voters, would reverse the gay marriage go-ahead the justices made. The Los Angeles City Council is also expected to take up the issue today.

Meanwhile, we have a story from the Associated Press that says City Attorney Rocky Delgadillo has advising officials that county workers must perform same-sex weddings under the law - regardless of how they feel about it.

Daily Breeze reporter Melissa Evans is monitoring the Board of Supervisors meeting and will have an update.
