South Carolina holds line on gay marriage as appeals denied
The U.S. Supreme Court denied five state appeals to preserve bans, but experts say same sex marriages in South Carolina may come soon. Attorney General Alan Wilson will continue to defend the state ban while a federal judge weighs a lawsuit by a couple married in Washington, D.C. USC expert Donald Sanger predicts licenses could come in weeks to months, with Gov. Nikki Haley backing ongoing enforcement.
