California Supreme Court Takes Up Gay Marriage Ban
--------------------------------------------------



And in California, the state Supreme Court will take up a case today
seeking to overturn the voter-approved gay marriage ban. Gay marriage
advocates want the court to declare Proposition 8 unconstitutional. The
proceedings will be broadcast on giant television screens around San
Francisco. Thousands of protesters marched around San Francisco on
Wednesday ahead of today’s hearing.
