The parties cannot appeal to the U.S. Supreme Court, Herrera said, as federal courts do not have jurisdiction over the state laws. "This is the final say," he said.

This is a quote taken directly from the CNN article, however there is an attempt to place a state constitutional admendment on the nevember ballot that will define marriage as limited to a man and a women.

So the fight isn't over yet, and probably never will be but this is a huge step in the right direction
