California Supreme Court Upholds the People's Right to Vote on Marriage in Upcoming Election

Jul 16, 2008

We have good news to report today! This afternoon, the California Supreme Court refused to hear a case brought by same-sex marriage advocates, who intended to prevent California voters from voting on the California Marriage Protection Act ("Amendment") in November.

The lawsuit was filed on behalf of three voters and the National Center for Lesbian Rights, Lambda Legal, the ACLU and Equality California against the California Secretary of State, who certified the Amendment.

The Court's decision means the Amendment will stay on the ballot!

Liberty Counsel has been involved in defending California's marriage laws since February 2004 when Liberty Counsel filed suit on behalf of Campaign for California Families and its executive director, Randy Thomasson, to stop San Francisco Mayor Gavin Newsom from issuing marriage licenses to same-sex couples.
