Same-Sex Marriage Gets Another Day in California Supreme Court
Gay Marriage Proponents Argue That Proposition 8 Is Illegal and Should Be Overturned
On Thursday, March 5th, legal arguments took place in the California Supreme Court regarding an attempt to overturn 2008's Proposition 8, which outlawed same-sex marriage. Same-sex couples, civil rights organizations, and the state Attorney General’s office argued that if the initiative process is
used to take a fundamental right away from a persecuted minority, no one in
California is safe.
The court has 90 days to issue an opinion, but Equality California thinks that a decision will be issued sooner. That organization says, "...(R)egardless of how the court rules we all have to continue working to educate Californians about the importance of the freedom to marry. And that means we need you and everyone in our community to fight for the rights of lesbian, gay, bisexual and transgender folks win or lose."

On Friday, March 6th, Rebecca Kaplan will host a Speak Out for Marriage Equality in Oakland's City Hall. On Saturday, March 7th, a Fundraiser for Marriage Equality Litigation will take place at Rhythmix Cultural Works, at 2513 Blanding in Alameda, from 6:30pm to 10:30pm. Many who are opposed to marriage will gather for a Gay Shame meeting on Saturday, March 7th at 5:30pm at Modern Times Bookstore, at 888 valencia street at 20th Street in San Francisco.
