WEST HOLLYWOOD, CA – JUNE 04: A couple participates in a symbolic group commitment ceremony for same-sex couples to kick off National Gay Pride Month at The Abbey bar and restaurant on June 4, 2008 in West Hollywood, California. The California Supreme Court has refused to stay its decision legalizing same-sex marriage which will become legal starting June 17. Conservative and religious opponents wanted the court to stop same-sex couples from marrying before their initiative to ban gay marriage by a state constitution amendment goes to ballot in November.
