All About Tuesday


Prop 8 supporter Galina Andreyev of Sacramento, argues with George Cole of San Francisco outside the California Supreme Court in San Francisco, where the justices were hearing arguments to overturn Proposition 8.

Dear Readers.

California's Supreme Court on Tuesday will issue its ruling on whether the state's gay-marriage ban will stand, but the decision likely won't mark the end of the highly divisive matter.

Gay-rights groups and organizations that support traditional marriage have plans in place to press their case no matter how the court rules. Should the gay-marriage ban stand, some gay-rights groups are planning a ballot initiative to once again legalize gay marriage in either 2010 or 2012. If the ban falls, groups supporting traditional marriage say they will likely appeal to federal courts.
