SAN FRANCISCO (AP) — Testimony has ended in a federal case challenging California’s ban on same-sex marriage.
Lawyers for the sponsors of Proposition 8 tentatively rested their case Wednesday after introducing materials from the 2008 election campaign.
The trial is exploring whether states that deny gays and lesbians the right to wed are violating the U.S. Constitution.
Defense lawyers asked Chief U.S. District Judge Vaughn R. Walker to reserve their option to present more documents based on subpoenas they have issued to gay rights groups that opposed the measure.
