Decision is official, but stayed until USSC issues its ruling.

MONTGOMERY, Ala — A federal judge has ruled that gays and lesbians have the right to marry in all Alabama counties, but placed her decision on hold until the U.S. Supreme Court issues a ruling on same-sex marriage.

U.S District Judge Callie Granade said Thursday that Alabama's ban on same-sex marriage is unconstitutional and enjoined probate judges from enforcing it. However, she stayed enforcement of her order citing the expected decision this summer.

VVV Not enforced, so AFAIK gay marriage is still not permitted until the Supreme Court rules.

This one has a snap. Don't know if I'm ready for change!

The ruling almost feels like an opportunistic grab to be on the right side of history before it's been set.

Maybe I'm just being cynical.

Very much so, because it completely ignores the ridiculous push and pull between the federal and state courts on this issue for the past few months in Alabama:
