SACRAMENTO, Calif. -- James Eslick and Jake Rowe tried to get married Wednesday morning in Sacramento, but they were turned away by county officials in the wake of the passage of Proposition 8, which bans same-sex marriage.


Sacramento County, acting on the advice of an attorney, joined several other counties around the state that have stopped issuing same-sex marriage licenses.

Other counties that have stopped issuing such licenses include Yolo, Sonoma, San Diego, San Bernardino and Tuolumne.

In backing Proposition 8 on Tuesday, California voters supported a constitutional amendment overturning a state Supreme Court decision that gave gay couples the right to wed just months ago.

Attorney General Jerry Brown said Wednesday that same-sex marriges performed up until Tuesday are valid and he will defend them. But he added that any such marriages performed Wednesday or later are not valid because Proposition 8 is in effect.
