U.S. Court Overturns Calif. Same-Sex Marriage Ban

By Leslie A. Pardo

ADVERTISEMENTS

A federal judge overturned California’s same-sex marriage ban Wednesday in a landmark case.  It now seems likely the U.S. Supreme Court will decide if gay couples have a constitutional right to marry in the United States.  Chief U.S. District Judge Vaughn Walker ruled that California’s 2008 Proposition 8 ballot initiative was unconstitutional. The judge made his ruling in a lawsuit filed by two gay couples who believe the California voter-approved ban violates their civil rights.
