RICHMOND, Va. (AP) — Same-sex couples could begin marrying as early as next week in Virginia - and potentially North Carolina - after a federal appeals court refused Wednesday to delay its ruling that struck down the state's gay marriage ban.

The state would also need to start recognizing gay marriages from out of state next Wednesday, though the U.S. Supreme Court could effectively put same-sex marriages on hold again if opponents of same-sex marriage are able to win an emergency delay.

The 4th U.S. Circuit Court of Appeals in Richmond ruled last month that Virginia's same-sex marriage ban is unconstitutional, a decision that could overturn Amendment One in North Carolina, which is a part of the court's jurisdiction.

2. The Repugs in NC were trying to impeach our Dem AG , who's in support

of gay marriage. Now they're denying it. This is wonderful news!
