YOUNG VOICES

Prop. 8: Voices Before the Arguments
by Tamika Thompson


 

The California Supreme Court heard oral arguments today in San Francisco 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.”

Lambda Legal and several gay rights organizations hosted a viewing in West Hollywood, CA, for supporters to come out and watch the court proceedings together.

I caught up with one couple who hoped the court would overturn Prop. 8 and allow them to tie the knot this summer.
