California Court to Hear Marriage Case Mar 3 08
COLAGE is pleased to share the news that tomorrow, March 4th,2008, the California Supreme Court will hear oral arguments in the California Marriage Case. The case combines four lawsuits - three by nearly two dozen couples who want to marry and the fourth by the city of San Francisco, which entered the dispute after the court overturned Mayor Gavin Newsom's order that cleared the way for nearly 4,000 same-sex weddings in February and March 2004.
COLAGE applauds the efforts of our colleagues at the National Center for Lesbian Rights, Equality California, and the ACLU who will be presenting arguments before the court in this historic case. We hope that the court recognizes as we do at COLAGE that families are strongest when they receive equal respect and protections under the law.
