County clerk Dronenburg of California requested and was denied a clarification and stay on gay marriage pending appeal. His job relies on an Oath to the People to uphold duly-enacted initiative law regarding who may and may not marry. He had standing but was denied. Natually LGBTers are witch-hunting his job as result of his "insolence" for appealing California's right to self-rule.
The status right now is that Utah's AG sought a stay on gay marriage and was granted that stay on the argument that not to do so would be damaging to democracy in his state. There is no federal protection for gay marriage currently so while in limbo, Utah's AG argued successfully that the default status of a state's right, his state to be exact, is the democratic process of voters regulating marriage there.
In California as well as all other states hashing out this question, there is inequal application of the right to democratic rule. California is now fully under fascist control. This isn't a joke or hyperbole. Lead gay-sympathetic officials are forcing lower officials there to defy 7 million voters' civil rights that should have the same interim protection as Utah's voters....but who don't...
SCOTUS cannot treat different states differently when it comes to federally-protected civil rights...even in the interim. There can never be a five minute period where the votes in one state count while the votes in another do not according to how they enact laws respectively to self-govern.
Ergo, any person in California could petition under violation of their civil right to have their vote count to gain an immediate stay on gay marriage. ANY PERSON IN CALIFORNIA NOW HAS A LEGAL RIGHT TO STANDING TO OBTAIN A STAY ON GAY MARRIAGE IN CALIFORNIA. And they've had that right at least since the day Utah obtained their stay.

His argument was this:
Dronenburg was threatened from the top down as well:County clerk Ernest Dronenburg remains a target for those who wish to unseat him for petitioning the state supreme court to reconsider their decision to overturn the same-sex marriage ban, also known as Prop 8.
#Dronenburg's challenge sparked outrage from supporters of marriage equality. That spark seems to have caught fire.

Dronenburg’s petition argues that his plea for a stay is different because he is directly affected by state Registrar Tony Agurto’s June 28 order to the 58 county clerks to license gay marriages.
The San Diego County clerk said he is in a “legal limbo” because he believes the licenses should not be issued, but state Attorney General Kamala Harris has threatened to take action against clerks who refuse to allow the nuptials.
“Navigating this landmine of uncertainty on a daily basis is an ongoing and ever-present injury” that justifies an immediate stay, Dronenburg argued in the lawsuit. San Diego County Clerk Seeks End To Gay Marriages CBS San Francisco

Supreme Court halts recognition of Utah same-sex marriages
State recognition of same-sex marriages performed in Utah when the state briefly had marriage equality will continue to be on hold for time being, the U.S. Supreme Court decided Friday. The court issued an order without explanation granting the request from Utah Attorney General Sean Reyes to place on hold a preliminary injunction from a district court requiring the state to recognize the marriages. After the Tenth Circuit Court of Appeals affirmed the injunction, Reyes took up the matter with the Supreme Court. Supreme Court halts recognition of Utah same-sex marriages
No explanation given.
His argument was this:
"We said from the beginning that Judge Shelby should have issued the stay, and the Supreme Court seems to be affirming that — not only one justice but the entire court, and we assume without any dissent since there was none noted in the decision this morning," he said.
The court is agreeing with the state's position that it hasn't spoken on the issue so it's not time for lower courts to invalidate state marriage laws, said Duncan, who also works as the Sutherland Institute's director of the Center for Family and Society.
