High court lifts hold on gay marriage in Idaho

WASHINGTON (AP) -- The Supreme Court says same-sex marriage can go ahead in Idaho.<br /> <br /> The court issued an order Friday that appears to remove the last legal obstacle keeping gay and lesbian couples from getting married in the conservative state.<br /> <br /> The federal appeals court in San Francisco on Tuesday declared gay marriage bans illegal in Idaho and Nevada.<br /> <br /> Justice Anthony Kennedy temporarily blocked same-sex weddings in Idaho a day later after the state asked for a delay. Idaho officials said county clerks would be forced to issue marriage licenses to same-sex couples almost immediately without the high court's intervention.<br /> <br /> Kennedy offered no explanation for his order, but indicated it would not be lasting. The court issued no explanation for its order Friday, either.
