California Court of Appeal Hears Landmark Same-Sex Marriage Case
Next Step for California Same-Sex Marriage Case Started on July 10th
On Monday, July 10th, the California Court of Appeal in San Francisco heard oral arguments in Woo v. California and five other cases that will decide whether excluding same-sex couples from marriage violates the California Constitution. Last spring, San Francisco Superior Court Judge Richard A. Kramer held that California's exclusion of same-sex couples from marriage discriminates on the basis of sex and violates the fundamental right to marry under the California Constitution. The Attorney General appealed, setting the stage for the argument to be held on July 10th. A decision from the Court of Appeal is expected to come in October.
Geoffrey Kors, Executive Director of Equality California, which is a party in four of the six consolidated cases, said, "Same-sex couples and their families deserve all the protections and responsibilities that only a marriage license can provide. This case is about the dignity and respect that has been denied to thousands of California couples simply because of who they love."
