Court Again Denies Utah's Emergency Request For Block On Gay Marriages

The 10th U.S. Circuit Court of Appeals has rejected a second request by the state of Utah to put an emergency block on same-sex marriages in the state.

The second emergency motion, filed by acting state Attorney General Brian Tarbet on Monday, came after a similar request was denied by the 10th Circuit on Sunday.

"Utah should be allowed to enforce its democratically chosen definition of marriage until the appropriate appellate court of last resort has declared otherwise," the motion read.
