Freedom to Marry
On March 5, the California Supreme Court will hear oral arguments in the three lawsuits challenging Proposition 8, a ballot initiative passed by California voters in November 2008 which states that “only marriage between a man and a woman is valid or recognized in California.”
We caught up with Robin Tyler and Diane Olson, well known figures in the gay rights community, who are petitioners in one of those Prop 8 lawsuits, for their recent re-commitment ceremony at the Beverly Hills Courthouse in honor of the 12th Annual Freedom to Marry Week.
Tyler and Olson were joined by their attorney Gloria Allred and other gay and lesbian couples who applied for marriage licenses with the county. The marriage license requests were denied.
