California High Court Reviews Gay Marriage Ban

The national gay marriage debate shifted to California on Tuesday, as the state's highest court heard more than 3 1/2 hours of arguments on the constitutionality of a voter-approved law banning same-sex marriage. Gay rights advocates sued to overturn the ban four years ago after the court halted a months-long same-sex wedding spree that saw thousands of couples marry at San Francisco's City Hall. ''I think I speak for everybody when I say that this has been a long time coming and a day that has been eagerly anticipated,'' said San Francisco city attorney Dennis Herrera, who is representing the city in a lawsuit supporting same-sex marriage.
