Background:
Same-sex couples in California may be able to obtain marriage licenses on June 17, state officials said Wednesday.
Marriage licenses for same-sex couples may be available in June, officials said.
The California Supreme Court struck down the state's ban on same-sex marriage as unconstitutional in a May 15 ruling, clearing the way for the state to become the second to legalize such marriages.
The state Department of Public Health -- which serves as State Registrar and oversees vital records -- said in an announcement that June 16 is the last day the state Supreme Court can rule on any requests for re-hearing. It released new marriage license forms for counties to use beginning the following day.

"SAN FRANCISCO (AP) California's highest court has refused to stay until after the November election its decision legalizing same-sex marriage in the state.
The Supreme Court says its ruling will be final at 5 p.m. on June 16.
Wednesday's denial clears the way for gays and lesbians in the nation's most populous state to get married starting June 17, when state officials have said counties must start issuing new gender-neutral marriage licenses."

It would be good to have a link to some news-related article that would (help) indicate why the beginning odds were set the way they were.
"This question needs background information indicating the significance of June 17. If June 17 is not significant, the starting odds are off."
If this question becomes void, I hope the creator reposts a question with background information.
