California Supreme Court Ruling On Gay Marriage

AirTalk for May 15, 2008

The California State Supreme Court plans to issue its long-awaited decision on whether to legalize same-sex marriage this morning. Justices heard a series of cases brought by gay and lesbian couples, the city of San Francisco and two gay rights advocacy groups in early March. The court will decide whether the state's one man-one woman marriage laws violate the civil rights of same-sex couples. If it rules in favor of the plaintiffs, California could become the second state after Massachusetts where gays and lesbians can legally wed. Larry and his guests discuss today's ruling. Guests in this hour include Jon Davidson, Legal Director for Lambda Legal, David Cruz, USC Professor of Law, and Brian Brown, Executive Director of The National Organization for Marriage-California.
