Update: 3:53 PM
Confidential sources close to San Francisco City Hall told Towleroad's Corey Johnson that the California Supreme Court was prepared to release its opinion on Proposition 8 tomorrow, but decided to delay the ruling after a call from Mayor Gavin Newsom.
"Newsom reached out to the Supreme Court and asked them to hold off releasing their decision so it did not coincide with the White Night riots.
Yesterday we reported that the California Supreme Court's decision on the validity of Proposition 8 would be coming down over the the next few days and overnight the process seemed to go into overdrive.
Via Joe My God a picture of barricades were placed in San Francisco's Castro District reportedly by the SFPD in anticipation of the court's ruling. It has also been reported that the San Diego police departments have been alerted to the rulings.
Court confirmation on tomorrow's expected ruling should be available today by 10 AM PDT.
Protests are being planned around the country in the event the court decides to uphold the discriminatory Prop 8. Go to Day of Decision for a list of events near you.
