I'm a little surprised that the 9th circuit granted the stay, but I think we should be a bit cautious about the "liberal" and "conservative" labels here. All the courts are considering is whether Proposition 8 is consistent with the constitution, not whether gay marriage should or should not be allowed in principle.

You're right, this doesn't guarantee anything except that there won't be any marriages permitted until after the 9th Cir. has weighed in on the case, any further appeals will come about subsequent to that case.
