Supporters and opponents of same-sex marriage are awaiting tomorrow’s review of the voter-approved ban known as Proposition 8 in the California Supreme Court.
Attorney Emma Ruby-Sachs, who writes for the Huffington Post, described Prop 8 opponents’ arguments on the status of the same-sex marriages that were briefly legal in the state before voters passed the measure in November.
Emma Ruby-Sachs: “Californians who were married before Prop 8 passed would have their marriages treated the same way as if you were married in Massachusetts and moved to Arkansas. So, it’s not that we are voiding your marriage; the state of California just isn’t going to recognize it.”
Ruby-Sachs spoke with KPCC’s Larry Mantle. Opponents of Prop 8 maintain that same-sex marriages performed between last June and the November election should remain valid.
