A U.S. appeals court on Tuesday found California's gay marriage ban unconstitutional in a case that may lead to a showdown in the U.S. Supreme Court.Supporters of the ban said they would appeal the judgment, calling it "out of step with every other federal appellate and Supreme Court decision." Their appeal is likely to keep gay marriage in the state on hold pending future proceedings.
But the lawyers who won the appeals court round called the decision a milestone, and outside City Hall in San Francisco, a centre for gay rights, dozens of same-sex couples hugged and kissed in public, cheering the ruling.
