Gay marriage in California
The first gay marriages in California have taken place. Although the decision to put the overturning of the ban on gay marriages to a vote, ceremonies have taken place in at least 5 counties.
One of the first couples to exchange vows was veteran gay-rights campaigner Del Martin, 87, and Phyllis Lyon, 83.
However, people will vote in November on a proposal to restore the ban.
California is the second state after Massachusetts to legalise same-sex marriages.
