The Supreme Court says same-sex marriage can go ahead in Idaho.
The court issued an order Friday that appears to remove the last legal obstacle keeping gay and lesbian couples from getting married in the conservative state.
The federal appeals court in San Francisco on Tuesday declared gay marriage bans illegal in Idaho and Nevada.
Justice Anthony Kennedy temporarily blocked same-sex weddings in Idaho a day later after the state asked for a delay. Idaho officials said county clerks would be forced to issue marriage licenses to same-sex couples almost immediately without the high court's intervention.
Kennedy offered no explanation for his order, but indicated it would not be lasting. The court issued no explanation for its order Friday, either.
