Unless the U.S. Supreme Court intervenes, gay and lesbian couples in Virginia will be able to marry on Monday after a ruling today from the Fourth Circuit court of appeals.
On July 28th, the 4th Circuit Court affirmed a lower courts ruling that Virginia's same-sex marriage ban is unconstitutional.
The court has now denied, by a vote of 2-1, a stay on the ruling, meaning marriage equality will begin as soon as Monday if SCOTUS doesn't intervene.
