Utah's Supreme Court lifted its stay on same-sex adoptions Thursday, two weeks after the state dropped its legal fight over the issue.
In May, the state's high court placed a hold on several district judges' rulings that ordered the Utah Department of Health to issue birth certificates to same-sex couples who were adopting children. The stay halted any movement on the issue until judges could decide whether or not the adoptions were legal under state law.
Thursday's ruling clears the way for those adoptions to proceed.

"There is no longer any need for clarification about what the status of these marriages is," Utah Solicitor General Bridget Romano said, according to The Salt Lake Tribune. "We're going to go ahead and comply with the law."

Watch all the right-wing blogs and stupid radio people lose their shit over this tomorrow. Should be some pretty funny stuff popping up at Right Wing Watch and Pink News.
