SAN FRANCISCO AP – Testimony in a groundbreaking legal challenge to California’s same-sex marriage ban resumes Tuesday with testimony from two Ivy League historians who will discuss the nation’s experience with matrimony and anti-gay discrimination.
The trial, which began Monday, is the first in a federal court to decide the constitutionality of state bans on gay marriage. Regardless of the outcome, the case is likely to be appealed to the U.S. Supreme Court, where it could lead to laws that restrict marriage to a man and a woman being upheld or abolished nationwide.
