SAN FRANCISCO: Gay marriage ban backers seek Supreme Court review

Those who are trying to ban same sex marriages through the law, namely Proposition 8 are pursuing their case to the U.S. Supreme Court.

In 2008 California voters approved a ban on same sex marriage through Proposition 8, but the legal battle just started.  The latest decision came from the Ninth Circuit Court of Appeals which is based in San Francisco.  They had ruled the Proposition Unconstitutional.

If the U.S. Supreme Court refuses to take the case this will allow same sex marriages to resume in California.
